Covering White Bathroom Tile

Tracie Leland
by Tracie Leland
I want to change out my builder's white bathroom 4 x 4 tile in my shower and tub surround but don't have the funds right now. The rest of the bathroom is perfect, travertine floors, dark cabinets (just painted) and white countertop. Is there a product that will cover the white tile and not wash off until I am able to pull apart the shower and start over?

    If Jenni's solutions don't appeal to you, you could roll an epoxy or cement texture over them, just make sure to get one that is designed to stick to smooth surfaces and moisture resistant.
  • This question come's up quite often in our business, there are always quick fix's however we always recommend doing it the right way and doing it once. Wait until you have the funds to do it the right way. Select the tile and grout you want buy enough for the project. Then interview contractors, you are going to need a plumber if you are changing your valve in the shower, don't let the tile person do it ( to save money) and then interview a tiler. The best way to get this project done is to understand what needs to happen through the scope of work, this way you have no surprises. Although waiting may be the hardest part in the long run maybe the best decision you could make. Saving you a lot of time and effort.
