Hi!!

Basically I want to paint the last 3 rows of my bathroom tiles.

We have a wet room so the room is completely tiled. The people who lived there before us had pink tiles, (urrghh!) and they have been painted over with white paint. Most of the tiles are fine, except for the ones around the bottom of the shower.

I want to know what the best and cheapest way of making the tiles look better are. My step says I need to scrape off the old paint before re-appying new paint and then put on a special sealant to make sure the paint doesn't come off easily with the water.

Any advice would be really helpful!! Thank you!

there is a specialist paint for tiles but you could give them a coat of PVA first,let it dry & then paint on top.This would be waterprooof.
