How do I make my shower floor look respectable?

by Nadia

The prior owners of my condo had a shower installed, which resulted in a horrible job. They used cement to put the tiles down. I would like to just cover it. I can't afford to replace it

I prettied up the wall tile by using a grout pen

    How about teak? You can get "tiles" that are basically grids of teak that let the water drain through and lay them over the existing tile.

    Consider painting the tile by a professional. I had our tub painted by a profession company and it has held up really good.

    I used a method that was on this web-site but you might have missed it. I cleaned my tile grout by pouring baking soda along the grout line. Then I wet it with hydrogen peroxcide and let it sit for at least 10 minutes (perhas longer , or perhaps repeat if it isn't clean). I scrubbed ithe grout llines with a brush head that could be screwed on to a broom handle so I didn't even have to get on my knees to scrub the grout line. I found it at Home Depot and it looked like it was meant for this job. I wiped the grout lines clean and let dry. Amazingly the grout is clean again. I did not use it on shower tile grout line, but it is worth a try. I had used bleach on the grout lines and that did not do anything, but the baking soda and hydrogen peroxide did the trick.

    You could re-tile right over if space allows.
