Hello all

 

my aunt has a really old tiled bathroom that she wishes to renovate on a budget. The tiles just above the bath rub are dark red for about 6 rows hight then the tiles become an off white colour. 
 

could these tiles be all painted white with tile paint? Even the dark red ones? 
 

is tile paint any use? 
 

i was also thinking of regrouting them aswell. How difficult is this to do? Would you recommend? Or would fresh tile paint brighten groutting up as well as tiles? 

I painted some tiles (can't remember which tile paint now as it was 25 years ago), I was quite surprised how good it looked afterwards.

Just get a small tin and try a bit, you can easily scrape off.

Generally, when I use gloss paints, I use a gloss roller (one of those sponge ones), quick to do and gives a smooth finish.
