Hi Jan, I think any good paint for wet environments would be a good call here. They do make specific tile and tub paint and I think it would still work just fine on plastic. -

Yes, it is possible but it will likely not wear very well.There is another approach to consider. I just searched for vinyl floor tile under $1 at homedepot.com. There are several choices. If your bathroom is 5' x 8', you can buy a 45 square foot box of attractive vinyl tile for under $20 that will replace that old tile. You aren't going to buy paint that cheap. I will guarantee that it is going to look better and last longer. -

I believe there is a paint for every job! Go to your local paint store and ask for advice. They have never failed to help me! Good luck! I see a cute bathroom in your future! -
