To paint or not to paint. Does it ever look professional painting over existing kitchen tiles to make them white??

    Hi Jenny2345,

    Our kitchen and ensuite had the wall tiles painted by a previous owner at some stage in its life, they look 'ok' from a distance, but when you're working in the kitchen or using the ensuite you notice the brush marks over the tiled surface. Also the grout was painted too so there's no differentiation between individual tiles and trying to remove the paint from the grout will cause the paint to chip and flake off. Removing old tiles and laying new wall tiles isn't difficult, but requires practice so it doesn't come out looking like a DIY job and grouting can be done pretty by almost anyone. I'd consider a quote from a professional tiler particularly if it's a small area as the cost may not be too great and you won't have to worry that the paint may not stay on the tiles. (The tiles could be sprayed but the cost for a small job is about the same as retiling anyway).

    I doubt it's ever going to look 'professional'....but if your tiles are hideous and you don't have the means to deal with a new splashback, it would be a definite improvement. I've seen painted splashbacks, they look good. Certainly easy to clean.
