As subject suggests i was wondering as a temporary quick fix how ok to tiles look when they are painted?

We have just moved into a new house and finances are tight to say the least and was wondering as an interim before i get around to re-vamping the bathroom can i paint the tiles and if so how good/naf does it look?

Another question for the future the bathroom currently has one layer of tiles going half way up wall in most areas and fully around shower/bath. I know i can over tiles this rather than removing but what do i do about the increase thickness around tile/wall transition, are there some double thickness edge tiles that can cover this up, or worse still what can i do if i want to tile to the ceiling everywhere as i would have two levels?

My daughter painted her tiles, for the same reason, they look ok, but I dont know how it would wear & if you could just overpaint. If you intend replacing when finance permits, then paint them.
 
The danger is if i paint them, will i have to remove paint in order for the new tiles to be able to bond?

Hello adrian_uk17
you will have to remove the tiles or make the painted finish fit for tiles on top , removing paint
