I bought a vacation mobile home with an old pink ceramic bathroom floor. I don't want to spend a lot of money on a new floor, just would like to update the old one........

    There are tile-painting systems out there, but tile floors in bathrooms get a lot of wear and tear- and I would do extra prep work.


    Fitst I’d go full line pro paint store and buy what they recommend.

    Ask them if TSP solution will be enough to prep the floor, after you show them pictures. My guess is they’ll want you to use something to chemically etch the surface, like a muriatic acid solution. Or a belt sander.


    If the tile is in good shape, I’d keep it and , would make it a fun 50’s retro bathroom. I would do it in the very old “Florida style” pink flamingo motif. You’re on vacation, when using it, have fun with it.

    I would clean it up and use it as an inspiration to decorate in a fun theme. That is a very popular color in Florida. You could do flamingo as suggested, make it super girly, tone it down with grey and/or black, add shades of green for a vintage garden look.

    You can paint it.
