S**te? Tile paint any better? Does it have to be specifically tile paint or are there alternatives? Just trying to think of something to brighten up all the boring white tiles in't kitchen.

Agreed. We are considering having some tiles printed to our own designs. But that is in the newly tiled scenario not the upgrade in situ.

Depending on the treatment they will get, I would consider using almost any paint and some lacquer/varnish over. Maybe a super-hard water-based (to avoid yellowing)?

Tile paint is very good, my daughter painted some tiles in her bathroom 4 + years ago & it hasn't flaked or peeled.

Only prob with tile paint is that it covers the grouting up so it looks slightly less lile tiles.

Thanks. I was considering painting single tiles here and there rather than the whole lot, perhaps masking off each tile so that none got on the grouting...

I reckon that would look OK Be a bit tedious mind. My daughter used the International brand tile paint.

Tedious? Oh, I can do tedious:

So who gave you that house?

(I can't believe anyone would have bought it... :-) )
