We bought our villa a month ago and due to budget constraints I decided to paint the bathroom tiles myself with a very satisfactory outcome thanks to the good advice from Bunnings staff at Burleigh for the primer and Mermaid Waters for the top coat
Materials
I used Taubmans Advanced Adhesive and Blocker as I wanted to paint bricks as well.
Tools
I used a Bunnings microfiber mini roller and wide masking tape
Steps
Step 1
this was the before bathroom
Step 2
before starting I did do a practice tile with pleasing result before masking up and starting
Step 3
I ended up doing 3 undercoats as the brown of the tiles was very strong. I also had the bath professionally sprayed
Step 4
this was the product I was advised to use from Bunnings Mermaid. I wasn't sure if it would be compatible with the undercoat but apparently both paint companies are under the same umbrella
Step 5
I also did the matching tiles in the toilet, this is the finished result
Step 6
I also got brave and did the shower
Step 7
the shower took a lot more masking plus an extra undercoat. I gave the whole space 2 top coats of the White Knight
Step 8
overall I'm very happy with the result
Step 9

Nice one @lynnestelle.
We have an inspiring collection of bathroom makeovers using paint, perhaps your project might be added to it soon!
As this is a common challenge people want to tackle, have you got any tips for others that might like to paint their bathroom tiles? What did you learn along the way?
Welcome to the Bunnings Workshop community. We're thrilled to have you join us and look forward to reading about more of your projects and plans for around the house and garden.
