Start with cleaning your stone floor, vacuum and then wash it, no dirt or specks can remain. Wash it with a stone cleaner-mild detergent, if they are slate tiles, nothing acidic. If there is grout, then take a gentle brush and clean it.
Then let it dry.
Then you need a sealant, you can get this at a diy store, roller it on and let dry for several hours, make sure you have all the spots covered. Take your time and inspect your work thoroughly to make sure everything is covered, you can see the difference by flat looking spots.
Now you are ready for the primer step, this is to make sure your paint will stick to the floor. When you decide on a paint, be sure both your primer and paint are specifically for stone floors.
I would not suggest painting your bathroom floor. It can be done with epoxy paints but will not last under the use of the bathroom. Water and steam are not good for painted surfaces.
It is best to clean and seal the stone before painting. Once that is dry, use a good primer and then a paint that is made for stone. When it dries, seal the paint. Check with your local hardware or home improvement store for the best products for stone.

Just use oil based paint and make sure the stone is extremely clean before you start.
