Bathroom tile painting is gaining popularity as a smart alternative to full renovations. Instead of removing tiles, which is messy, time-consuming, and costly, painting provides:
For many Melbourne households, this solution is perfect for giving bathrooms in suburbs like Preston, Coburg, and Northcote a modern touch without the hefty renovation price tag.
To ensure lasting results, bathroom tile painting requires meticulous preparation and application. Here’s how professionals like AH Painting approach it:
Tiles must be completely free of soap scum, mould, and grease. A heavy-duty cleaner is applied, followed by sanding to roughen the glossy surface for better adhesion.
We use tile primers designed for ceramic, porcelain, or stone surfaces. This ensures paint bonds strongly, preventing peeling or bubbling.
Using airless sprayers or rollers, we apply specialist tile paints formulated for moisture resistance. Multiple thin coats provide even coverage and durability.
A waterproof sealer is added to protect against daily moisture, cleaning products, and high humidity – essential for bathrooms.
Before completion, every corner, grout line, and edge is checked to guarantee a flawless finish.
