that the tile is glossy. Adherence of paint is the main concern. The prep that would be required to do each individual tile is not easy and there are no guarantees that it will stand up to bathroom humidity for the long term. I agree with everyone above. . . just replace it.

Bathroom: I would like to put a tub wall surround around my bathtub.

It currently has tile on half the wall. Do I need to remove the tile before installing the wall surround? If so what is the easiest and fastest way to remove the tile?

Hi Marie, ...»

The "easiest and fastest" way to remove the tile is to rip out the wallboard behind it (probably drywall). The tile will come out with the wallboard still attached to it. Of course that means you then have to replace the wallboard, but, since you plan on installing a surround in there anyway, you don't need to be all that particular on how it looks. This might be a good opportunity to try your hand at some drywall without fear of what the end result looks like.
