The floors also need to be level and not be warped from time. It is more expensive and more labor-intensive than painting over your tiles. Tiling over ceramic tile is definitely an option to cover up your tile.
You can also do your research to find the cheapest paint and supplies that still give quality results if the tile paint kit is more than you’d like to spend. I really want to do a check board pattern on the bathroom tile, but even peel and stick tile will cost more than simply painting them. I’m considering painting my bathroom floors to give them a fresh new look, without having to rip everything out. It is a project that is more accessible to do on your own, which always saves money when you don’t have to pay a professional. Painting your tiles might be the best way to cover your tiles on a budget. You’ll have to weight out what your time is worth as this is not a “one and done” project. It’s a big commitment to have to repaint your entire floor each year. I also image painting a large area will take more time, especially considering having to “touch-up” each year afterwards.

Paint chipping is almost inevitable with painting tiles, but with the right products and process, you can make it last longer! My entryway is one of the high-traffic areas in our home. It really depends! I am repainting mine because I didn’t add enough sealant and it started chipping. I’ll share some of my updates so you don’t make the same mistakes.įirst, I’ll answer some commonly asked questions. I’ve taken what I’ve learned and updated my process. Going through the process of painting tiles for the first time has taught me a few things including some do’s and don’ts. Today, I’m doing another coat of paint to freshen things up and re-seal the paint to prevent scratching. I painted my tile floors last year, and it was an easy quick fix to updating my entryway, but now it’s due for a touch-up. It can take some research and a few substantial hours of work, but the results can be so worth it!
