Tiles

My wall tiles in my bathroom have been painted white, but the paint is starting to come off where my shower is, it looks messy now. Is there any cheap way of removing the paint without wrecking anything. I might re-tile over the old ones, if this can be done. Let me know.
cheers...

Use a sharp wallpaper scraper to remove the paint.
Yes you can tile over the tiles if the existing tiles are firmly fixed.

Have you tried the scraper yet? It should come off quite easily in biggish pieces. Failing that I'd try a heatgun with the scraper.
