Painting tiles.
I just wondered if any one has done this successfully and whether or not it looked good?
Is it best to repaint tiles or replace them?
Cheers for any answers  |

I have a pic of painted bathroom tiles, that a client had painted himself using the alleged 'tile paint'
As soon as he started using the shower half the paint started peeling.
He hired me to do some decorating for him, and then asked to take all the paint off the tiles,the ones by the shower/bath was easy peasy, but the rest was a flippen nightmare. 
I'll be back with the pic.

Sorry about this pic, but I must have deleted the other ones, but you can just see the window cill tiles, too the right as your looking at it there would have been the walls, but obviously you cant see, there would have been the bath/shower/handbasin, and it wall covered in the purple paint that I had to get off, then try and use one of those waste of space group pens, it was a nightmare.
