How To Paint Bathroom Floor Tiles

Painting bathroom floor tiles is a great way to update the look of your bathroom without having to replace the tiles. It's a relatively easy project that can be completed in a weekend. Here are the steps on how to paint bathroom floor tiles:

Materials You'll Need:

TSP cleaner
Bucket
Mop
Sandpaper
Painter's tape
Primer
Paint
Polyurethane
Paintbrush
Roller

Instructions:

1. Clean the tiles.

The first step is to clean the tiles thoroughly. This will remove any dirt, grime, or soap scum that could prevent the paint from adhering properly. To clean the tiles, mix a solution of TSP cleaner and water in a bucket. Then, mop the tiles with the solution. Rinse the tiles with clean water and allow them to dry completely.

2. Sand the tiles.

Once the tiles are clean, you need to sand them lightly to create a smooth surface for the paint to adhere to. Use sandpaper with a fine grit and sand the tiles in a circular motion. Be sure to remove all of the dust from the tiles before proceeding.

3. Tape off any areas you don't want to paint.

If there are any areas of the bathroom that you don't want to paint, such as the toilet or vanity, tape them off with painter's tape. This will help to protect these areas from the paint.

4. Apply a coat of primer.

Applying a coat of primer will help to ensure that the paint adheres properly to the tiles. Use a primer that is specifically designed for use on bathroom tiles. Apply the primer with a paintbrush or roller, and allow it to dry completely.

5. Apply a coat of paint.

Once the primer is dry, you can begin painting the tiles. Use a paint that is specifically designed for use on bathroom tiles. Apply the paint with a paintbrush or roller, and allow it to dry completely.

6. Apply a second coat of paint.

Once the first coat of paint is dry, apply a second coat. This will help to ensure that the paint is evenly applied and that there are no gaps in the coverage.

7. Apply a coat of polyurethane.

Once the paint is dry, apply a coat of polyurethane to protect the paint from wear and tear. Use a polyurethane that is specifically designed for use on bathroom floors. Apply the polyurethane with a paintbrush or roller, and allow it to dry completely.

8. Remove the painter's tape.

Once the polyurethane is dry, you can remove the painter's tape. Be careful not to damage the paint when removing the tape.

Your painted bathroom floor tiles are now complete! Enjoy your new updated bathroom.
