Some gorgeous and trendy tiles we’ve once installed are pretty much becoming outdated and can make your room look old-fashioned and awful. However, all types of ceramic tile, no matter how old, can be given a new look with a coat of paint. This article will give you an insight on how you can paint your tile like a pro and update the look of the entire room.

Below are a few simple steps on how you can paint your ceramic floor tiles

Sand your tile floors

Sanding the tile enhances scuffing and it will also make the primer adhere. You can also sand your tiles if you notice some disgusting items on the surface. You can make use of an electric sander, they are lightweight and they make sanding much easier.

Ensure you clean your floors

After sanding, you should vacuum up the dust and debris so as to get rid of them. You can then proceed with the cleaning. Heavy-duty stripper & cleaner would be a nice idea. It will make it easier and faster. After you might have purchased your cleaner, ensure you adhere to the instructions on their label. The cleaner the floor, the better your paint will adhere!

Ensure you fix any Missing Grout or Cracked Tiles

Regrouting could be a huge job because you need to spend a lot of time digging out the old grout. While filling the grout, make use of paintable caulk to fill in and smoothen it.

This is an easier method as the caulk would adhere well and would allow the paint to also stick well. For cracked portions, you can simply caulk and sand fill them.

Now apply a Good Primer

Making use of a good primer is vital for painting ceramic tile! I will advise you go for a good primer, make use of a paintbrush and small roller simultaneously to paint the grout lines and the surface of the tiles. Once you are done applying it, wait till it dries and after that, recoat one more time.

Paint your tiles

Go ahead and paint your tiles the same way you primed it, using a paintbrush on the edges and on the grout and. Go for a quality paint with an amazing color. Apply three coats of paints (as you wish) and allow it to dry.

These are the simple 5 steps through which you can pain your tiles.
