How do I cover up bathroom tile?
We are redoing a bathroom and it has pink tile and some cracks in the time and I was trying to see what I can use to cover up the tile because I don't want to have to take the tile out.

Hello Carrol,
DIY's sell tile covers (plastic /Self adhesive or Transfers) They come in Plan, Patterned, Metallic, Mirror and Italian/Victorian designs. Good luck!
If you don't mind the build up, you can put down luan or a thicker plywood like OSB over the tile. Then put the new flooring down on the plywood.
If this is wall tile that gets wet, there are special epoxy tile paints with special binding primers, sold at full service paint stores.
These require seriously good ventilation and are not winter-time projects because you can’t leave all the windows open & fans running.
