Can I paint my old ceramic tile?

  BEFORE

Tired of looking at your 1970's bathroom? Or worse, your 1950's bathroom? Don’t have the budget or inclination to remove all the old tile and start new? You have choices – Yes, you can actually paint the tiles. 

Though not a long term solution, at least it would get rid of that Avocado Green you’ve grown so tired of! You will need to clean and lightly sand the tile surface, apply a top quality primer, then roll on the paint.  If the tiles are in a tub or shower area, and your tiles are solidly installed (no signs of cracking tile or grout, mold or mildew), you may be pleasantly surprised how inexpensive it is to simply tile over the existing tile with new tile. If you are at all handy, new tiles can be purchased for as little as $1.00 per square foot ($100.00 would buy all the tiles you need to re-do a tub or shower area at this price). With a little patience and the right tools, voila a whole new look that will last much longer than paint, particularly in wet areas.   

We are glad to do it for you - call me at the store to set up an estimate - 905-892-5756
