Just got a quote to have an old ceramic tub removed / replaced, as well as wall and floor tiles replaced in a small bathroom space...$13k. I believe repainting tub and wall tiles is a great way to spruce things up at least in the short term. Thanks for the helpful video.
We just got a quote this evening for $7,000 to (epoxy) paint the tiled walls and shower pan in our small guest bath...$7,000 for this alone. This just made me so angry, this is price gouging. Looks like I'll be doing this job. We live in CA and everything is so outrageously expensive here; just so sick of it. We recently had a quote to get our kitchen cabinets painted....we were quoted at $100 PER CABINET DOOR! Holy cra*! I'll be doing this job too:(
@@catbee1452 also remodeling in CA $$$!!! hubby is in construction so we will do it ourself. I've refinished a kitchen + 2 baths in a previous house and its a TON of work. Yes $100 a door or more to have it done, egads. Did you do it?
@@judymiller5154 I simply ran out of time. I was getting our house ready for sale. The shower I decided to let it go because it wasn't worth to invest the effort in a seller's market. I changed up the bathroom hardware and made the shower oober clean and shiny w/ a new set of fluffy white towels. The kitchen cabinets, I just cleaned and polished. Our house sold in less than a week.
OH NOOOOooooo. The green tile was fabulous! What you NEEDED was some gorgeous wallpaper that drew on those colors....like something oriental Chippendale-y....with touches of coral maybe. IMHO. Oh well. Thanks for the instruction though.
Just finished my tub with this product and I'd say it works well just you need a good roller and make sure to vent out the room you are working on because it is very strong this was my mistake and the whole house smelled of paint thinner. I bought mine at Wal-Mart for 40 dollars.
Thanks for this video, I was just about to but this and I thought I should look a few videos first and this is the best by far. I can for sure do this but tell me has it still held up this long??
Good job! I paid $300 to have our tile and tub refinished by a company two years ago and it is now coming off and the hideous pink is returning in areas. Was considering getting it done again, but may have to try this.
Pretty. Hint though, cut in first, while wet, then roll to cover brush marks and repair with caulk around the faucets prior to painting. Wonderful. Thank you for sharing this kit. I will use this.
Cheers! Very good video. I would like to know if there is any product that can be applied after the ceramic tiles have been painted, so that the paint lasts longer?
Beth I Thank you! And they sell masks like that at Home Depot, but I will also add a Amazon link in the description to where you can get it. Thanks for watching.
Thanks for the video it was really helpful, do you have an update by any chance of how it held up, I'm thinking of doing my kitchen backsplash, but I'm worried about peeling in the areas that are exposed to water. Thanks
It’s held up great over the last 3 years. It has been abused and water left on there daily, and only a couple of nicks from hard object banging on it from the kids. It should be good for a backsplash. Thanks again for watching.
Great video. A nice solution for getting rid of the hideous green, pink or blue tile that was so popular during the 40's - the 60's. How long does this paint last? Since it's in a bathroom, which is typically very high in humidity, is there some sort of seal for it?
I don't know if you'll see this but I did this with the appliance epoxy from rustoleum on my kitchen counters & backsplash. Haven't had any issues with water or heat.
Hello Sir. Do you think this will work on the floor of the shower area? And can you please show us what your tiles looks like at present. Thank youuu! 🙂
Would you do it for a integrated sink and counter? How long did the fumes linger? I have a husband who complains and asks frequent questions quite a bit.
Hi! Great video and results. I see u just made a 400 sand hand-made over ur tiles but in my case i have tried with 180, 100 and 80 and the coating of my tiles is still there. I am afraid the the product will not stick properly. Tell me about ur experience . thank u.
Would love to know what kind of color you could add to that or could you maybe add some of those crushed glass particles so it has some depth and dimension and interest.
You did a great job, it looks awesome, but... if you were to refinish a tub or a shower, this is a horrible one, their paint is great, but this epoxy stuff is crappy and i used the 2 part kit in a can. After a few months it chips and peels around the drain and fixtures, and looks bad. Do not buy this, Homex at home depot or ekopel 2k are much better, and do not use a brush, use a roller.
While your video is generally instructive it, and others that I have found, don't help out with many homeowners who have old tile (such as yours) and want to re-glaze or repaint them a different color. (or the same color if a tile has broken and you can't find another in the same color). In other words, I would have loved to have seen you repaint your tile blue, or green, etc. to see how well it looked. Or painted just one of the black tiles, orange just to see how well the technique worked.
Regards! I plan to do the same as you in the bathroom and kitchen. I also want to paint my Formica cabinets, I already bought the products. My question is, do you know which sandpaper should I use for formica and if it would be dry or wet? I know that sanding is important for the paint to adhere but I don't know which sandpaper to use for formica.
did you try it? We are remodeling a 90's house with a country blue and rose tile 🤮 shower in the 3rd bathroom, which needs to be helped as cheaply as possible.
ensign j we moved into our home that has this on all the shower tiles and bathtubs. I can tell you that for showers and bathtubs, you will see it come off. We’ve got large chunks chipping away since it’s been exposed to water.
Do you think this technique will work on tile bathroom floor? Mine is in desperate need of replacing but can’t afford it. Do you think it will hold up on the floor??? Please help?
It looks great. hard to see but I assume it doesnt have the same smooth shine of the original tiles. I think I see some orange peel effect. Some other videos I saw were the same, basically looked painted rather than a white tile. Any idea if wetsanding at high grit like 2-3000 would give it a more gloss look like the tiles?
Badass. I finally can get rid of my pink bathroom. Do you think its worth waiting for a weekend with nice weather so I can leave the window open? Great tutorial. How long did you wait in between coats?
sean christian Thank you! And it’s up to you, You could wait for good weather if you don’t want it to be cold in the house but either way is OK. And I waited about an hour in between coats. Thanks for watching. 😊
@@GreeksGarage Great! Do you think temperature would affect it? I like a good weekend project and was thinking of tackling the bathroom ASAP. I could just turn a fan on and shut the bathroom door. I have a second bathroom I can use for the 3 days while it dries thoroughly. Do you think having the window open will affect dry time? I have an exhaust fan in the bathroom I could probably use after the majority of smell is out the window. Thanks for any help!
sean christian you should be fine with the door shut and the fan on. Just put a towel down at the bottom of the door to keep the smell out. So make sure you wear a mask while your doing it.
@@GreeksGarage Thanks for the reply. I have tons of respirators since I usually paint with a compressor in my garage for other projects and finishing work. I'll probably get into this weekend actually. Do they have it in stock at Depot or Lowes?

@@GreeksGarage ohh thanks so much for yur prompt reply really appreciate yur willingness to help .thanx again n keep up d good work of posting new innovative videos
On all the videos I've seen about this poxy transformation everyone is changing their showers/tubs to white. Does this kit come in other colors or go would you use it to go from white to a different color?
When you sanded it down, did it scuff up the top? I'm trying to use what I have, and i'm using a hand held Robi sander with a larger coarser grit.. and it's scratching up the tiles, but it just looks.. awful. I'm not sure what it's suppose to look like at the end and no one is giving details. I need an up closed shot to understand.. but so far I'm not finding any images online or description of what the tile should look like after sanding.
Great job and video! Did you mix part A and B all at the same time? Or half for the first coat and the second half for the other coat? How did you store the paint while waiting for the second coat? Thank you
Michele d'Esposito I mixed it all together at once, and then on between coats I just left it in the tray with the roller in the paint so I doesn’t dry out.
Looks great. My biggest concern: how much did the paint stink up the house? Everyone keeps warning me that this epoxy paint "drives ya out of the entire house" when used. I would love some insight on this.
Hi, do you think it would have covered the black tiles just as well? I want to paint over yellow tile and the edges are like a dark burgundy. Worried the burgundy might show through. Thank you (:
will you do an update and show us how well it held up please????
I love your old tile...and so surprising its in great shape
YES! I loved the tile too. I (personally) would have kept it but it is very retro.

Wow we have the same bathroom tile style but mine is maroon and I hate it! I’ll try this out !
The paint looks nice! Great job! I also liked that vintage green original color.
Would love to see an updated video of how it is a year after.... thanks 🙏
My thoughts too.
Yup.
Here's one from another channel after 5 years:
th-cam.com/video/Zkw0dvQaYRw/w-d-xo.html
Priming helps. Also not using for a week too. I like that you kept the black tiles
What primer would you recommend? I'm going to do this to my bathroom. I have 2 others to use in the meantime.
No primer needed
that looks fantastic, I was breaking my head thinking how I could remove ugly orange tile from my rental bathroom, will definitely do that
It will peel this stuff don’t work!!
@@tonyburry9036 definitely needs thick hydrophobic coat afterwards. Otherwise, yeah, it could peel.

Great way to show homeowners how to DIY! The finish comes out different than with a Spray gun but great how to for DIYers!
I think the spray gun will give better results
Great instructional vid!
sharon edelson-eubanks Thank you!
You did a great job. After one year how is the paint condition, did it peel, lost its shine?
Thank you, and it’s still doing great! It looks the same as when I first painted it.

That’s what the tiles finish was like before it was painted. If your tile is smooth it should come out smooth.
great work!
marie testa Thanks 😊
how is the painted bathroom tile standing up curious to know
Are there any concerns for using this in a kitchen where you would put warm items on the counter. yes clearly not a hot pan on the surface?
VERY helpful. Thanks!
Should have done the sink bc now it looks grey. Lol. I loved the green tile but the white looks nice too.
can it be used for arbrite back splash and counter???
That green looks pretty!
Does the box have recommendations on what to use (or better yet, not to use) to clean it to maintain it?
As long as you prep the surface really good you should be able to clean it like you would your tile.
