Yes, they can be painted, but you need to get a special paint for bathroom tiles, whether they are ceramic or plastic. Make sure they are completely clean, and sand enough to rough up the surface. The paint needs something to grasp onto. If you don't want to regrout, just paint over the grout lines with a water resistant paint. Should not take more than a pint. Then seal the deal with a waterproof sealer, possibly three thin coats. I hope this works for you. Best wishes 😇
Yes, ceramic tiles can be painted with epoxy paint. You can have a professional do the job, or go to your local home improvement store and ask them to show you the appropriate products and explain how to use them. This site has plenty of projects where tiles were painted, stenciled, etc. Epoxy makes a good cover, but it will require gentler treatment than unpainted tile.
Rustoleum and Homex make Tub and Tile epoxy paint kits sold at Lowes and Home Depot and True Value.
Yes, I had mine painted but I would use a professional.
Thanks to everyone who replied! How much does a professional charge?
I would think outside paint would be the way to go, that is water proof. Just a thought!
They can be painted, but for a really unique and beautiful bathroom, select bathroom accessories like the shower curtain and window treatments with a little bit of the pea green color in it and use it for inspiration! Then select a complementary color from your accessories for the wall color.
