When it comes time to remodel your bathroom, no longer do you have to settle for a full replacement of the tile in your bathroom. Fortunately, you have several options to restore it. Today, there are commercial paints available for you to repaint your tiles or you can hire a Long Island refinishing company and choose to have the tile reglazed.
Most people choose to hire a professional to paint or reglaze their tiles, but it is possible for you to complete tile painting as a DIY project. If you are considering tile painting on your own, keep these things in mind.
You Should Not Paint All Types of Bathroom Tiles
If you plan to paint your bathroom tiles, you want to make sure you are even able to paint them. Fortunately, tiles such as ceramic, natural stone, and porcelain can all be painted. You will find that the paint lasts longer in areas where there is low moisture. With that said, painting the tiles in the shower stall will require more maintenance and upkeep than painting the backsplash in the bathroom.
You Can Choose Any Color You Dream Of
One of the nice things about painting your bathroom tile is that you can choose any color you wish. This allows you to match your personal preferences along with the décor in your home and bathroom. In addition, if you choose to checkerboard paint your tiles today and want to change them a few years later, it is easy to do so with more paint.
It Is an Affordable Option
Painting the tiles in your bathroom is extremely economical and will save you money over retiling. In fact, you may spend as little as just a dollar per square foot of paint while retiling the entire bathroom can cost up to $1,500 or so.
You will also find that reglazing the tiles is an effective method for a bright and fresh look without a pricey tag attached to it. Reglazing will breathe life into your tiles while only costing you a few hundred dollars to do.
You Lost Function of Your Bathroom
If you are working with just a single bathroom in your home, it is important to know just how long you will be without the space. Painting tile can take a while, which means you may not be able to access your bathroom for several days. This may not work well for everyone, so do be prepared. Remodeling will take a significant amount of time too. Fortunately reglazing only takes a day, maybe two.
Can I Paint My Own Bathroom Tile?
You can essentially paint your own bathroom tile with the above things in mind. It is also important to weigh your level of experience and the amount of time you have to dedicate to the project as well as what your budget is.
There are specific steps that must be taken when you paint your bathroom tiles and a misstep in the process can mean that you need to call out the professionals, which will cost you more money than anticipated. Because of this, most people do rely on experts to paint their bathroom tiles for them.
Poorly painted tiles will not only look bad, but they will also start to fail over time and you may notice water damage behind them or the paint peeling.
