Hi,

I have decided to try and paint my bathroom tiles, as dont have time to take of the tiles and re-tile, due to our baby arriving within the next month. But could do with a bit of help on deciding which paint to use.

After reading various posts I know I will have to clean down the tiles with sugar soap 1st, so as to get them free of greece etc.. before painting with
a radiator roller.

I have got the following choices of paint...

1)
http://www.wickes.co.uk/invt/214377

This advanced formulation can be applied directly to glazed ceramic tiles, and does not require a separate primer or undercoat.


2)
http://www.homebase.co.uk/webapp/wc...ay?langId=110&storeId=10151&partNumber=221418

But this one does not state if you need to prime the tiles 1st.


3)
http://www.diy.com/nav/decor/paint/...ould-Resistant-Tile-Paint-White-750ml-9253494

This one also does not state if you need to prime the tiles 1st either.


Could someone point me in the right direction of which one I should
go for from the above choices, as obviously I would like to do the best job I can which will last untill I can get some money and time to re-tile sometime in the future.

Thanks in advance

Could you not just re-grout to spruce them up a bit?

I could be wrong, but painting tiles sounds like a bad idea, unless it's red tiles which you expect to be painted.
