These are black tiles on my front entrance. They get afternoon sun. As you can see they are patchy and dulled.
is there any way I can make them look better without replacing them.
any help appreciated.
thanks
Hello @Gina59
Thanks for sharing your question about restoring your ceramic tiles. It appears that your tiles have delaminated and have lost their protective ceramic top coating. It could have been due to extreme weather exposure or a chemical cleaner or a combination of both. Unfortunately, there aren’t any paint products that can be used on outdoor tiles. I recommend having a look at this discussion - How to paint over outdoor tiles? by @Wendi.
The options open to you are to tile over your existing tiles or build a low-level deck over your tiles if there is enough space. This will at least save you from having to demolish the old tile base in front of your house.
Let me call on our experienced members @diy_hausdesigns, @homeinmelbourne, @redbournreno and @Peggers for their recommendations.
If you have any other questions we can help with, please let us know.
