Easy
I decided to paint the tile in my bathroom because it was chipped and discolored. This is not our "forever home" so I didn't want to do a full gut job- just a quick update.

There are about a million tutorials to painting tile, but here's what I did:
CLR was super handy in making sure the tile was very, very clean before paint. Then Zinsser ALL SURFACE primer was key so that the paint had something to stick to. I went with a good quality paint to add to durability.
the extremely dark and sad "before" ...and what you can't really tell is how cracked and gritty the tile really was.
Enjoyed the project?

Frequently asked questions
Have a question about this project?
I have a one inch inset tile that I hate around the top of my shower and on the outside of my tub. My question is would this be durable enough for steam?
Thank you!!!
Hi Stephanie, I'm been wanting to paint the tile in my bathroom, but I'm so very hesitant - afraid to mess it up. Your project turned out great and I was wondering how it's holding up after 5 years.
