Many home centers sell a two part epoxy kit that you can use to paint ceramic bathroom tiles, but they are in a fairly limited selection. If you'd prefer a different color, go to a paint store and they can mix a two part polyurthane or epoxy in nearly any color you would want. You can also use a bonding primer, like XIM, for the first coat, then cover that with a durable oil based paint if you prefer to not deal with a two part coating. It isn't as durable, but can easily be touched up and should be less expensive.
Ceramic tile in the bathroom will need to be painted with a glaze made especially for tile. This will need to be formulated to withstand moisture and heat as well.
we're wanting to change the colour of our ceramic tile in our shower stall, and heard that we can paint the tiles. What paint is suggested? And does this paint last and stay nice looking.
not well (its hard)
No, it will not adhere properly.
I would paint after. Because you might have to do caulking after tiling and when u finish caulking then paint.
ceramic is smoother.
It depends on the paint that was used to paint the tiles originally, but usually a methylene chloride stripper will take off an epoxy used to paint tiles and not harm the tiles. Use strippers only in a well ventilated area with protective clothing and eyewear.
scrape it with a razor blade...assuming the tile is untextured porcelain
can you mix ceramic and porcelain tile on a bathroom floor

A lot of people use vinyl flooring in a bathroom.

Ceramic tile is best for bathrooms. It is easy to clean and is not a slip hazard when its wet.
Yes definitely!! Use a primer designed for ceramic tile, and regular latex paint. I've read you should seal it with polyurethane, but I haven't sealed my bathroom walls (2 coats of primer 3-4 coats latex) and they've been fine for 2 months
It depends on the type of tile you have installed in your bathroom. Ceramic, Porcelain, Slate, Quarry tile, etc all require different cleaners and methods of cleaning. The best option would be to consult your local tile store.
