Browse Forums Kitchen Corner 1 Nov 14, 2009 1:31 pm Has anyone painted ceramic tiles? If so, how do they look? I want to have a go at painting what used to be the decorative part of the splashback. Its a rolled tile that is a blue/grey at the moment and would like to change it to black What are your thoughts please?

Re: Painting kitchen tiles 2Nov 15, 2009 1:41 pm Yoy can always try ... there was a segment on some TV show some time back ... could have been Better Homes and Gardens or something like that where they painted the tiles. Maybe it's worth browsing their site for some guidance and how-to. Should be much cheaper than replacement, I suppose. Good luck! Re: Painting kitchen tiles 4Nov 16, 2009 8:42 pm Hi Sharon, I did this with my 80's style beige tile splashback in my kitchen. You can get special tile paint and primer from the hardware store. I did mine about 7 years ago and it is chipping away a bit around the taps, but still well worth it.. sooo cheap and improved the look of the kitchen dramatically (nothing worse than dated feature tiles!). If we were to sell I would just need to do a little touching up around the taps. Hope that helps.
