- Thanks so much for watching my other video: Painting my (ugly) kitchen tile floor with Rust-Oleum Home | Floor paint tutorial ( • Painting my (ugly) kit... ) that I shared a few months ago. I've been getting a lot of questions about the floors and how they're holding up, so I thought I'd share an update with you!
It's been 6 months since I painted the bathroom tile floor and close to 3 since I painted the kitchen tile floor.

Thanks for watching! If you're thinking about painting your floors - tell me which room you're planning to do in the comments.
Living room and bathroom
I am attempting to paint my kitchen ceramic tile floor. I am going to paint it navy, then I have a stencil in white. I think I have to use 2 coats of the navy, one with the stencil and then 2 coats of the sealer. Wish me luck!
@@cynthialuc1 Navy sounds dramatic - LOVE it! Good luck :-) Just take your time and enjoy the process!
One of these days I would like to paint the bathroom we have black tiles on the floor and in the shower too we didn’t pick those tiles eventually I would like to paint them white since we can’t remodel it and the other room is a bedroom that has terra cotta floors the color is fading I would other restore it or use another paint color
@@FireFlirt100 Good luck! Sounds like a lot of painting in your future! (Just check Rustoleum's info about painting in showers... this specific paint line isn't meant for shower floors)
Young lady, I don't remember ever viewing anybody doing a review that is as thorough and honest as you, really thought of everything. 👍👍👍👍👍
Thanks so much - this comment made my morning!
Very honest thanks ☺️
The most incredible and professional in-depth review, thank you!
Wow, thanks so much!
This was very helpful for me to decide if I’m painting my mother’s tile floors. Thanks for sharing.
So glad to hear! Good luck if you go for it.
This video was exactly what I was looking for I'm also thinking to paint my room floor by myself this gives so much of positive vibes 💓💓💓🥰
Yay love it! Happy painting :-)
Glad I found this i painted my floors 3 times and thought there has got to be something better than what I did and watched your kitchen floor painting.
Are you going in for a 4th time now?? haha
Hello from Colette in England.
Thank you for an excellent set of videos detailing painting a tiled floor. Exactly what I was looking for - i have just ordered the paint for my kitchen floor renovation. I hope it turns out as nice as yours!
Love it! Happy painting :-)
Loved the “please don’t judge me”. Grow a thicker hide and try not to let negativity get to you. You’re doing great! Thanks for the review ❤️
Thanks for this video you are the most honest and serene person I came across in this TH-cam congratulations and keep the beautiful smile
Thanks so much. Very informative. Looks great! 👍😃
Thanks for watching :-)
Just want to say best video I have ever seen on this subject. great job done on floors and the video on the follow-up. my floors look exactly like your laundry room.
Thanks for a excellent how to and follow-up.
Mark..
Thanks Mark! Happy painting if you decide to do this on your laundry room floors.
Thank you for the update.
Great work! I love that Colorful painting too :)
Thanks so much!
I really like this!!!’ I definitely will be doing this to my sunroom floor..
Good luck - have fun!
Thanks for sharing this video! I’m planning on painting my kitchen tile which are exactly like the beige ones yours had previously. I also want to do my entry way and bathroom
Lots of painting in your future haha have fun!
Beautiful
Very helpful video. Thank you!
Hi katherine, I've painted my basement floors, half cement and half vinyl tile and its holding up well...also thanks for answering all those little details like how far you went underneath the stove. For me it was the washer and dryer...thanks again
So glad to hear!
Thanks, very good info.
Glad it was helpful!
Very nicely done. Thank you for posting. Helpful indeed. You must have some really clean toilets.
Haha I've definitely spent more time on the bathroom floor now than I ever imagined I would
Katherine, what a professional and honest review. I am impressed!
Thanks so much Tysha!
I think your kitchen floor would look great with the grout lines painted a different color. Very informative video.
Totally agree - I just didn't have the patience haha we'll be renovating the kitchen soon so it was a temporary project to cover up the beige color ;-)
I'm so happy I came across your channel. New sub here. Great content.
Welcome, Donna!
This product seems very durable especially since I don’t see that you needed to sand them before the paint. Awesome product.
Good questions and answers. I’m planning to use this paint and it is frustrating to purchase it. You have to order when you want a colour. But I love the look and I really dislike my tiles.
I hear ya! Happy painting (once you get the paint)!
I've just signed to purchase my first home. (As in earlier today!) It has all tile floors. And I hate the color. So I'm planning to paint the floor in the whole house. (French Grey is one of the colors I'm considering as well!) I've been debating doing different colors in different rooms just so it's not all the same, but that seems like it might not be worth the effort/extra paint. Thanks for sharing all of this!
Congrats on your home! Hope you're loving it... tile floors and all ;-)
Thanks for the info. I love the large tile in my front foyer, but I hate the color.
You r the best
just discovered your channel - great and helpful thanks! I'd like to do this but would prefer a contrasting grout line, have you tied this or do you know of a suitable grout lining product?
I helped my friend do her floor and we did white base coat on the tiles and then went back with the gray base coat in the grout lines - th-cam.com/video/GweMwcAxdzY/w-d-xo.html
Cant wait to do my kitchen floors. They are the exact same color as the ones you painted over.
Good luck! Bye beige tile haha
Thanks for your video! Im deciding for ultra white color for my entire house with semi-gloss sheens. Any advice?
Just a heads up that the ultra white might be REALLY white! The white you see in my pattern is actually "Steam Gray" and it looks just like the white of my cabinets, doors, trim, etc. Other than that - have fun and just take your time :-)
Hi! I want to paint my kitchen floor in the basement, it’s needs redoing, but not in my budget now. I have spare tiles, mismatched, which I want to replace the missing or broken ones, and paint it.
Kudos to you for putting on a cute shirt and earrings in the middle of a pandemic. Ive been wearing sweats for a few months now.
Also this review is very helpful, thank you!
Thanks Olivia! I'm definitely not always "put together" these days but figured I should be for the camera haha
Katherine Forbes Ha yeah! Well it reminds me I should probably put on something nice at least once a week, spruce myself up a bit, too.
Love the pattern in your bathroom, BTW. Really cute.
Great update on this! I've decided on using the Home product based on your first video and this makes me feel even better.
Only question I have is, any issues with the matte finish? Second thoughts on using a different sheen? Seems like it still allows for easy cleaning. Thanks for this update!
I like the matte! Haven't regretted that decision haha plus, I think the Rust-Oleum Home line only offers 2 top coat options anyways (matte or semi-gloss).
@@KatherineForbes I think matte will be the way to go compared to semi-gloss. I plan on doing this on all the tile floors in the house. Kitchen, bathrooms, and our entryway. Typical late 90's beige tiles with cracking grout. Thanks again for the reviews.
@@chrisaustin23 good luck!!
@@chrisaustin23 please do a video about it 😌🤗
Your bathroom floor is fantastic, I wish you had a how to video on it.
Me too - but there is a blog post! www.katherineforbes.com/blog/paint-tile-floors
Hi how did you move the fridge and stove without scratching the paint when you put it all back into place?
Awesome! very helpful! Is it slippery when wet? I have a special needs 16 year old that I always worry about and a rambunctious 8 yr. old boy. tfs, Laura
Hey Laura, it's not any more slippery than before! If anything the matte top coat makes it less slippery in general.
I have a bathroom floor that I want to paint over the tile. Watching how to videos on how to do it.
Good luck! Hope this helped :-) Did you see my other video where I did more of a step by step? th-cam.com/video/5Ib-eeYPYYc/w-d-xo.html
I'm planning to paint my bedroom, the tiles are super shiny, would sanding takr the glaze off? How long does sanding take?
Thank you!
I didn't sand so I'm not sure! But if you paint over it I imagine that would cover the shine!?
Got my paint at Canadian Tire in Toronto. It's not available at Home Depot or Lowe's in Toronto. First coat down... second coat tomorrow.
Yay! Good luck!
How does the seal topcoat hold up? Mainly the grout lines? I have two boys and the tile in their bathroom is what I want to paint. I am constantly scrubbing the grout, when they miss it tends to travel down the grout and as you imagine leaves a lasting odor. I really don't like the tile that is in their bathroom which is also our guest bathroom. I am looking for a rather inexpensive DIY fix but really trying to solve a better seal on the grout. Also how strong is the paint odor?
I've done 2 coats of the topcoat each time I've done it and it's been just fine. And actually, the grout lines seem to hold up even better than the tile. The grout lines do show dirt more so than regular grout because it's a solid color, but they clean beautifully if you give them a scrub.
And as far as the paint, it doesn't smell strong at all!
I found this video as I am going to try to paint my kitchen floors. question -my tiles are in rough shape with some cracked. do I have to fix the cracks first?
I had a cracked tile or 2 in my kitchen and just left it... painted right over it! They're obviously still cracked, but not noticeable unless you get super close to the tile. If your cracks are bad though, this won't fix/cover it up.
I’m interested in painting my guest bathroom floor! How does the floor hold up after cleaning? Can you paint over it you want to change the color or do you have to strip the color off first and then paint? Can you touch up the paint easily or do you have to strip color off first then touch up paint? Thank you! Love your video!
Hey Robin! You can paint however many layers you want (to change color) BEFORE you put on the top coat. After that I honestly don't know because I haven't had to do any touch ups.
Do you need to use a special kind of bathmat on the floor? I'm wondering if rubber-backed rugs will deteriorate the finish. Thanks!
I have a rubber back rug on my painted kitchen floor at the back door and it has been totally fine for years,
I have a rose colored hexagonal bathroom floor that needs a color change ie gray
Did you use a stencil in the bathroom or just tape off the stripe pattern on each tile? It looks great!
I used 2 strips of cardboard I cut from the sides of a cereal box haha I used one to tape to the floor (just lightly with a small piece of tape on each end) and then the other as a spacer. I did a test tile to make sure I got the exact right widths before I went ahead and did the whole floor though... highly recommend :-) Only I know which tile is the test tile, but I did trim the cardboard a tiny bit after seeing it dry the next day to make it perfect for the rest.
Got it
Great review! This was super helpful for decision-making. Your work looks fabulous. Also, to heck with judgers!! 🙂
Do you think if we use that product to just paint the grout, will it last a long time before it gets dark? We are using a light color
You can clean it easily to keep it light. I might recommend my video on cleaning grout before you try to paint it... th-cam.com/video/9gOAtTrmBpI/w-d-xo.html
Been researching the best paint to use on my bathroom tile floors. The tile is very smooth. Not your typical tiles that have a bit of texture. Do you know if this product you used will stick to a very smooth surface? Also, when I was researching the best paint the recommendations were an epoxy or oil based paint. I noticed that Rust-Oleum is water based. Any thoughts about this?
All I know is that I did NOT sand my floors beforehand like a lot of people suggest... and I've had the floors painted for 2+ years now... and they still look great. This product was made specifically for floors, so whatever the Rustoleum paint can says, I recommend following it (that's what I did)!
I saw the video on your kitchen floor painting but I can’t find the bathroom video... could you help me find it?
I didn't document that project on video, but I did do progress photos and details on my blog! www.katherineforbes.com/blog/paint-tile-floors
I will be painting my bathroom floor with appliance epoxy. Not sure I really need the top coat with epoxy.
Did you use a base coat? I don't remember you saying that you did but wanted to double check. I've already painted the bathroom tile once and the paint peeled right off. I didn't use rustoleum. Any other advice I would so appreciate it. Thanks!
The gray/white is technically considered their "base coat" layer. HIGHLY recommend you check out this product if you want to try again, it's held up really well for me!
Thanks so much! We will definitely be trying again.
Hi just came into your video, question: you have only vacummed and used swifer? What about a broom
All totally fine - that's how I clean the floors regularly
I wonder, after painting the floor would it be wise to apply resin on the tiles to avoid scratches or distortion of the paint like in the bathroom
I really want to do a similar job on our summer house. The tiles are at least 40 years old and not shiny like yours. They are simply just shaved rocks I don't know what are they called but I'm just at the considering stage having seen your work here
@@castiel7330 good question! The Rustoleum site says the paint works for "Ceramic & porcelain tile, concrete, hardwood, laminate, vinyl & more" ... I'd suggest trying a test spot if you can before going all out on the whole floor. Is there a spot under an appliance or in a closet you can try? Maybe do one spot with resin and one without?
Emre Şekeroğlu Ive seen people paint outdoor tile with it, so might work. You should check out the website.
Could you walk on the floors the same day you painted them? It says you should wait I think 24 hours but you said you wanted them done for the Super bowl lol
Haha well I got them done for the Super Bowl and then we went to someone else's house! Minus going in to get lunch from the fridge (with socks on) the next day, we did stay off of them for 24+ hours though.
Can these be steam mopped? Our floors get pretty nasty and the swiffer doesn't cut it
I've never used a steam mop so I'm not much help with this Q. I will say, this paint makes the tile/grout easier to clean than before I painted!
I want to do my kitchen but I’m afraid when I move my fridge and stove forward to clean under them it will scratch the paint. Have you moved your fridge and did it scratch up the paint?
Oh I just saw that you didn’t have a fridge in there. When you move the oven to clean under it does it scratch?
@@lovliesusie1 I just take a wet swiffer and reach under it - I don't ever move it out haha
The only scratches on my floor are from when my husband kindly (ha) put his ladder directly on the tile to get into the attic access that's in the bathroom ceiling. The ladder needs to be tossed so maybe it was the ladder's fault, but if you do try to move anything heavy on the painted floors, I'd definitely recommend pulling it out onto a towel!
PS. I'm going to touch up that spot on the floor and create a video of the process very soon!
I’m worried as I often pull the stove out to clean underneath and behind. Any suggestions?
Can you get towels under the little stove legs to pull it out?
Nicole Lalonde Bourgeois, I used to have vinyl in my kitchen with a very “puffy” design, and the vinyl seemed soft to me. I didn’t do this for my stove, but I had my washer and dryer in the kitchen, and I often had to slide them out by myself. They had rubber grippers on the feet They made indentations where the appliances had been sitting. I was worried about making more indentations or otherwise damaging the floor, out where it could be seen. So what I did was fold up small smooth cotton knit cloths, about the size of a washcloth, and put one under each foot on the W&D. It worked like a charm. You couldn’t see the cloths, as they were underneath, and they slid in and out slick as a whistle! No damage to the floor. And when they got dirty, I just replaced with some clean ones, and tossed the dirty ones into the wash.
I have since discovered that they also make felt disks, with adhesive on one side, for putting under furniture, etc. they might work for a non-puffy floor.
I am want to paint both my bathroom floors
How did you do the pattern in the bathroom. I love it!
Haha I just cut the side of a cereal box to make my strip and then used lots of tape! You can see more details on my blog post here: www.katherineforbes.com/home-design/paint-tile-floors
Thxs so much! I enjoyed watching ur DIY
Hi, I'm thinking about painting my kitchen. Not sure if the paint will last.
Hopefully this video helped! It's held up great for me.
Thinking about painting bathroom tile floors. Can I paint the shower tiles too?
It's not meant for the shower - but check the Rustoleum site for all the specifics for sure! I think they have other products that CAN though, just not this one.
Did you only use one gallon of paint and have left over paint shown for the kitchen ?
What you see leftover is after painting my small bathroom AND the kitchen. I've since painted a friend's bathroom and still have more paint to use! A little goes A LONG way :-)
Im going to attempt to paint my daughter's condo kitchen floor. Its 18x18 floor tile standard grout - we have chalk painted the lower cabinets graphite grey and uppers in cream. The granite counter top is patterned some grey/greens, plums etc. The backsplash is a cream diamond shape pattern. I originally wanted to do a checkered pattern but i think its too much pattern in one room. However, I wanted to do some sort of pattern or stencil perhaps smaller. Any Suggestions? and if you do the base color first, does the stencil come after that?
Definitely check the instructions of your paint to see how long you should wait after 1st coat. I documented my pattern floor progress step by step on my blog if you want to check that out... www.katherineforbes.com/blog/paint-tile-floors
I am thinking of painting my bathroom floor
Bathroom and kitchen floors what is the best paint to use?
I used Rustoleum Home paint kit for both
I know this is an older video, but do the floors feel sticky on bare feet? does it feel gross to walk on?
Not at all!! Still even this many years later the texture is no problem.
I wanted to paint and stencil the slate in front of my fireplace but the grout lines are to deep and have no clue how to fill them
Maybe re-grout before you paint?
How long until you can walk on it? I only have one bathroom so this is crucial
For the final coat you're supposed to wait 24 hours... but I won't lie, I tip-toped to the fridge in socks a couple times during that time. I did the final coat later in the afternoon and then we went out and when we came home we went to bed. So maybe if you time it just right you can get away with it?
@@cheryldugas5197 add cat litter to the bottom of that bag you'll be good to go.
I just bought a house with a very outdated black and white tile floor in the kitchen . It’s to expensive to take it up and it’s in great condition besides the terrible pattern (black and white check )
Can I use this paint for my bathroom sink countertop tile ?
Oh gosh - I'm sure it would be durable enough since it's tough enough to last as a floor BUT you should know that the gray does discolor a little bit when wet. It is FINE when it dries but as a bathroom counter it might get wet a lot, so idk. See if you can find any info about it on Rustoleum's site (also, they might even have another product for that!)
Thank you for responding back , I might have to try it out 😆, thanks again for sharing ❤️
I can't imagine this standing up because many reviews on HP's website say it doesn't hold up and smell is awful. I hope it lasts for you long term. Best of luck.
It's held up great for multiple years and I had no issue with the smell! No where close to smelling like oil based paint does.
Bathroom and kitchen floor
Home Depot recommended I use this for my tile kitchen cabinets. What would you say? Thanks!
Tile cabinets? Maybe backsplash? If so, yeah go for it!
Would this work on tile counters?
I'd recommend checking Rustoleum's site for more info - but I personally don't think I'd do it. I notice the paint changes color when wet (it dries fine) so that might leave you with an odd splotches a lot if you use the paint on your counters.
Hello.. where did you get Stencil
No stencil! I just cut the sides of a cereal box and taped them down haha
Can u steam mop it without damage?
I don't have a steam mop - so I can't confirm/deny!
I bought it from Home Depot. I bought the floor kit, which includes the base paint (which can be dyed) the sealer and a floor cleaner.
I wonder if this would work in a shower stall?
Definitely check Rustoleum's info about the product - I think they say it's NOT meant for showers. I think they have another paint product for that though.
Is your dog a Sheprador? Hes cute
Just a mut, but there's a breed called Black Mouth Cur we think he is a lot alike!
How is this holding up after 1 year with the dog and kids?
Here's my follow up video - and it's still great even now too! th-cam.com/video/dfqCP5FyC_0/w-d-xo.html
What about this paint for tile walls?
I think as long as it's inside and not your shower you'd be fine using this!
@@KatherineForbes thanks!! We actually have the rough floor tiles as our wall tiles. Therefore, they are not slick like regular wall tile.
We want to paint out bathroom floors. I’m not sure how it would look like without grout lines.
Do you have tile floors in your bathroom? I painted the pattern in the bathroom to still have grout lines show, but in the kitchen I just did gray all over so you can see what that looks like in this other video (if you haven't already) th-cam.com/video/5Ib-eeYPYYc/w-d-xo.html
Katherine Forbes I was wondering the same thing. So is the grout showing in the bathroom your original grout color or did you paint it with the floor paint?
Either way how did you mask off the grout/tile so straight?
@@hottcoco21 I used a delicate surface tape! You can see progress pictures (and get link to the tape I used) of exactly how I laid it out step by step on my blog: www.katherineforbes.com/home-design/paint-tile-floors
@@hottcoco21 Reading this comment again and not sure I totally answered your Q... the grout showing is PAINTED, not original.
Are you endorsing Rust-Oleum by any chance? :))
Nope! Won the kit for free in an Instagram giveaway from @angelarosehome and @makingprettyspaces
Your dog might prefer toilet water because the porcelain keeps the water cool. Try some ice in his dog water bowl and see how he responds.
Never thought about that! He also likes to drink out of the dirty pond water outside haha
It looks like an old highschool janitors closet now
Nice swastikas? :/
