- Looking to paint your tiles? If so, you must avoid this simple mistake.
I transformed my tiles by painting them with tile paint - but made a critical mistake along the way... And it was not inadequate preparation!
Watch this video to learn from my mess up. : P

Thanks so much Patricia! Love that you enjoyed the video and found it helpful : ) ❤
OUTSTANDING !!!!! love your video !!! You are a star !!! Don't stop !!!
Thanks so much! Glad you enjoyed the video! : D
Thanks so much! Glad you enjoyed the video! : D
Thank you for the advice! Planning on painting our bathroom tiles. Regards from Saudi Arabia.
Oh, and I just subscribed. Looking forward to more videos xo
Hi Khadeejah! Thank you for your lovely comment, I am so glad my experience and takeaways are useful to you : D. All the best with the shower painting project, I am sure it will turn out beautifully. Regards from South Africa! xo
Amazon reviews, a lot of people said stay away from foam rollers with Rust-Oleum paint, I'm not not sure how well this stuff works on ceramic or porcelain tile. Thanks for the video.
Hey Lesley-Ann, that makes sense. I bought mine straight from the hardware and didn't browse Amazon reviews otherwise I might not have made this mistake. Yea, I'd definitely say stay right away from foam rollers.
I think my tile is ceramic - and I must say, the paint is holding up very well at the top of the shower, and all of the areas where I started painting first. I think this is because less of the foam roller had "melted" into the paint at that point.
Thanks for your comment and I am glad this video was helpful. : )
Thank you for sharing...l would have lost it...I was about to use one ❤ much appriciated🙏🏽
It's my pleasure! So glad sharing my experience helped you avoid going through the same thing! Hope your tile painting project turned out great🤗
Thank you SO much. We were set to go buy sponge rollers. You prevented another disaster. You’re a hero!
Wow thank you for sharing this!!! At least your disaster has averted many other people's... so there is some good in it!
It's a pleasure! Tile paint is such a cool hack, and Im happy if what happened to me can help others avoid the sponge brush pitfall 😁
Hi, im British, you are far more British than I am. Good Britishness and good advice. Thank you
lol, why thank you😂. Glad I could bring both the good Britishness and helpful advice. All the best with your home projects
Thanks a lot I really needed this video!
You're welcome, so glad this was helpful for you.Beware the sponge brush! 😂
Hahaha, love the end of the video. Thanks for this.
Great review video Dani! Keep them coming - your personality shines through :).
Thanks so much Diane! ❤ Glad you enjoyed it : D
😂😂😂❤❤
I literally sit on the toilet debating whether I'm going to paint my shower on top of painting my bathroom and I saw this. Thank you so much, I love you. You are fabulous.😂❤❤❤ Mwaah
😂omg love it. The amount of times I wonder about different things to do to my bathroom while sitting on the toilet... lol! You too are fabulous❤. Good luck with whatever you decide to do to your tiles! May the (two-part paint) force be with you!🤩✨❤
Thanks for your video. And it was entertaining too!!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Super helpful advice! Thanks so much for sharing your experience.
You're welcome Shira! Thanks for the lovely comment
Thanks. Very useful information
You made this humorous. ❤
Thank you! One has to see the humor in these mishaps sometimes : ) ❤
Thanks heaps. Im glad i saw this one. I’ve only seen all the fancy successful ones. If that roller began disintegrating straight off, I figure must have been that paint had chemicals in it that are not in normal wall-paint. That makes sense, actually.--If you’re using paint made especially for bathrooms, it is made to stick to tiles so shall have some extra chemicals in it. I will do serious checking on the paint tins etc before I use it. Very much appreciated this thank you-I wouldn’t have thought of this.
It's a big pleasure, I'm so glad I can help others avoid the same mistake. I think two part paints that you mix together before applying (like this tile paint) have some pretty strong solvents in like you say. Good luck with your project! I hope it turns out amazing🤩
Thank you for sharing, I would have thought a sponge paint roller a great choice
Thanks for this.
My pleasure!
Just found you and immediately subscribed.
Aw! Thank you so much! I am working over time at my job to cover a big expense that's coming up, but as soon as that's done it's time for more videos and projects : D
@@diywithdani // I'll be standing by and patiently waiting.
@@Donna-vh5ym Can't wait! : D
That’s so strange!! What a weird thing to happen. Thanks
You're welcome! I thought it's a good idea to share my experience because it's an easy mistake to make, and has such bad consequences lol
Luckily I used the right roller but good to know what happens if you have the wrong one!
Awesome, glad you didn't make my mistake. How is the paint job holding up so far?
Thanks for sharing 👍
My pleasure!
Saw the end after😅❤
Thank you
You're welcome!
Thank you for taking the time to save my shower!!
Omg you're so welcome! So happy I could save you from the same thing happening!🙏
Noted! Ha ha ha ha! So hillarious
Hehe glad you enjoyed it Gabe😂😍
Thanks for the warning, looking in to painting my bathroom tiles & I would have definitely used a sponge roller. Never read instructions by the way 🤦🏽
You're welcome! Me too, I kind of skim over them lol. Sponge rollers also make such sense for getting into the grout lines... just not for the solvents it turns out! 😅
Hi! I didn´t quite got to hear what kind of roller you are supposed to use. Thanks
Hey sorry for the late response, the packaging says a short nap roller as far as I remember. 👍
Did you paint with clear coat as well? I think the water must have got the base coat of the paint
No I didn't! As far as I remember the directions on the Rustoleum tub and tile paint were to apply just the two-component paint. A clear coat might have helped, but I think the sponge melting into the paint weakened its bond to the wall😅. Hopefully my mistake can be useful to others before they paint their tub or shower.
Love that you still love sponge rollers . Thankyou for the advice, I'm painting my shower and need all the help I can get.
It's a pleasure! Yea sponge rollers are the bomb.com... for anything except tile paint lol😂
Gracias- thanks.🎉
You're welcome!
So, short nap roller instead?
Yes! As far as I remember that is what the can actually reccomended, but check yours to make sure
The same thing happened to me. I had sponge pieces on my tile. Had to wait 5 days and sand sponge pieces and order a touch up kit and do it over
Oh no! How annoying. I'm glad you were able to touch it up though. I'm thinking of doing the same, just waiting for everything that wants to peel off to come off. And a free weekend when we don't need to shower lol
I remember one comment in another video, about the product's failure. This person claimed that the formula developed for Canadians (Maybe you , too) is NOT the same successful formula provided for the United States. The restrictions in Canada forbid some chemicals and this company must comply. I have seen and witnessed many failures here in Canada. The biggest one is where I presently live, in a large apartment unit, where it was done professionally with all bathtubs, and all peeled. So, it may not be your use of a sponge roller.
Was there a lot of fumes from the tile paint?
Heck yea! The fumes were intense, definately reccomend wearing a heavy duty mask. We were fortunate that we didn't have to stay in the house during that period, so the paint could off-gas without us being there. But if you have a window, you could also seal off the room and leave it to vent off perhaps?
@@diywithdani I live in a 1 bedroom unit so its the sole bathroom/toilet for the home. I am considering a bathroom renovation but if the paint didn't need 7 days to cure...I'd definately consider painting the tiles. The bathroom being out of action for a number of days kind of makes it hard now to consider painting.
@@travistravis7190 Hey Travis, yea that is tricky! Maybe you can wait until a time when you need to take a trip, and then do it right before? Good luck and all the best with your bathroom renovation.
I had the Same experience with the roller. 😂
Omg I'm so sorry. It really sucks! What did you end up doing? Did you use the touch up kit?
SAME happened to me, different brand of paint. These paints have a solvent component which is usually mineral spirits or a derivative of it and this melts any soft plastic (including the plastic that the sponge roller is made of). Wish I knew sooner.
Oh no, I'm so sorry. Same!
Very kind of you to share the fine print! I'm so sorry you had such a disaster :(
It's a pleasure! DIYs are always an adventure in some way lol
This is a couple year old. Did you redo this?
Hey Tim, I am ashamed to say I haven't. I'm torn between doing a quick fix and doing a full demo and reno of the bathroom😂. But if I decide to redo the paint, I'll definitely do an update.
They should have told you to wash the sponge roller before you use it
That's interesting! I didn't think of that. But, the roller definately also kind of melted into the paint😂
@@diywithdani Washing it will NOT stop foam rollers disintegrating in two pack paint and oil based paint. Use suitable microfibre rollers, and after you have rolled a small section, tip it off by rolling in one direction same as with brushing, I usually start at the top and make my final roll down, with only the lightest pressure on the roller.
You are quite funny!
Why thank you! Glad I could entertain : )
😂🤣 I'm laughing with you, not at you....
😹❤😆
Don't you have to seal over the tile paint!!?
Not according to the instructions on that product, but maybe it would help!🤷♀️🙈
You're adorable!
Me...what the heck is sponge rolle4 😂
O dear !!! Please next time wear a mask or use a free solvent paint ! Ahahah
I did wear a mask! The fumes are pretty strong😂😬
It’s not you, and how you applied the paint. The paint used is just not strong enough to stick on tiles, and specially on floor tiles where water stays longer.
I have seen this many times. Paint only lasts for couple years and that is not a long time.
Hey Mauri, I agree I don't think tile paint is something that you can expect to last forever, especially on a floor. But I do think that the sponge roller dissolving into the paint really weakened the bond to the tiles. It looks even worse now, the paint's coming off up the walls, and I can't wait to retile😂. Have a good day and thanks for the comment : )
You wasted 7 minutes of my life to tell me you didn’t read the instructions. Thanks genius.
Sorry about that! Should have put something in the intro. 👍 Thanks for the feedback!
That's ok, at least there was a lesson.
There are plenty that don't, and still won't after watching any videos
😂😂😂😂😂😂🙃🙃🙃🙃🙃🙃 u just saved me 7 minutes of my life tho ! I was just starting to watch this until i saw ur comment 😂😂😂😂😂😂🙃🙃🙃🙃🙃🙃
I'm still gonna watch it tho. 😂😂😂❤❤❤ i just like the sound of her voice and her whole vibe.
The chemicals in the paint probably ate away at your roller 🤷♂️🤔 my guess
I think so too. If the smell is anything to go by... there's some strong solvents in there!
I wouldnt trust paint to stick to tiles in a shower. Hot water and soap battering the paint. Never mind, you tried. 😊
you sound like are late queen but great vid
Thanks!
Saw this too late.
Nooo! You have my sincere condolences. Did it turn out okay or did you get the same issues?
its not roller u didnt put primer
I think primer might have helped! The product I used doesn't call for a primer, but maybe it would have helped the weakened paint stick. Some people also advise against using primer with that Rustoleum product, so I'm not totally sure. Would be interesting to try through!
Your video would be much better without the sound facts. Practice with your Camera focus.
Thanks for your feedback! Much appreciated
You literally could of made this video in less then one minute way to much talking good lord
Hi there, thanks for the feedback, much appreciated : )
Every youtube video of painting over tiles is by a chick
Haha, what do you expect from some paint on your tiles??? Just retile. It is a better solution and not so hard to do.
You might be right! I know a lot of people have had great results from tile paint - but sponge brushes seem to be its kryptonite😎
The beginning is stupid
Thanks for the feedback : )
