Sorry, not a great photo but really, there's nothing else too see. It's totally plain.

How do i make it look better without wanting to rip it all out (i hate tiling).

Thanks for all your ideas on all my quesitons!

Hi there,

You could consider replacing the shower screen for a more contemporary frameless one, which will increase the space visually. If your budget runs to it, you could have the tiles re-surfaced, in whatever colour you wish, but certainly refreshing the grout will help, as scottevie suggests. Another thing would be to update the WC to a more contemporary one with cleaner, smoother lines. Some greenery and accessories will also cheer the space up a great deal.

Refresh the grout if it needs it. Painting the walls above the tile in a white that matches the wall tiles might help brighten and visually enlarge the space. Is that a shelf above the toilet that you could place a trailing indoor plant on? A modern bath mat or rug on the floor with coordinating towels. Are you making improvements for yourself or for selling etc?

Can you paint cement and ceramic tile?

Hi Pamela, Yes you can but note that it won't last forever because it is paint after all. However when you apply it the correct way, it can last for a few years. You could use Homax Tough Tile Tub & Sink Refinishing Kit (http://www.homedepot.com/p/Homax-Tough-as-Tile-One-Part-Brush-On-White-2106/202061380#) , which you can find at Home Depot for about $35 or so. I used it for the bath tub and tiles in the bathroom and love how it came out. Let's say that it is the next best solution if you want to change the look of your tiles on a budget. Just be aware that it is very toxic so you may want to wear gloves and a mask because the epoxy gives off some really nasty fumes. I’d even say, best to open the windows if possible. Having the right basics to work off are crucial so make sure to first and foremost clean your tile with the solution that is in the kit. Once the tiles are clean you can apply the epoxy paint with the brush that is in the kit. Don’t worry about the brush strokes, as they will even out eventually. You will need to apply more than one coat but make sure the first one is dry before applying the second one. It takes a few hours for the first one to dry. Two coats were sufficient to cover my tile and provide a great looking finish but if you want to apply more (depending on the tiles’ existing color) you can. Note that you can also paint the grout in between. On the box it says that it is completely dry after a few days but I’d say one week to be safe. A bit frustrating to have to wait that long but it’s worth the wait. Good luck! Elfya

Colours - which & where!?
Q
Commentaires (0)
This is the wall of my living room leading up to the stairs. We would like to paint a wall - hubby thinks wall with painting and chimney which protrudes from the wall. I'm inclined to think the back wall on either side of the chimney (more work). What do you think - we do have high ceilings... Now the second problem is the staircase...we will varnish the stairs the same colour as the parquet BUT...the banisters and upright were painted white at some point partially sanded and now look strange. I want to paint them because there is a lot of crevices and I think it will be too much work to sand it all down. We are leaning towards a darker colour - in the picture it looks black but in fact it's a a dark shade of blue. I was also thinking of F&Bs "Black Blue". I would like any and all suggestions on where to paint and colour ideas. Thanks so much!

Depends largely on what you like - do you like those brown tiles? Personally I'd be spraying over those to lighten the room, but if you like those, spray the walls with whatever colour you're wanting as that will get rid of that little pattern that I suspect is on tiles on other walls as well? Looks like there is a shelf above the loo, so get an interesting plant or find some artwork that you don't mind looking at from the shower! :)

What is your budget and long term plans for the home? It is a neutral space with lots of scope to add nice accessories, even a plant, colourful towels. I prefer a neutral bathroom over a 50's-60's candy pink or baby blue number.

Could you white grout the floor to really lift it and make a feature of it at the same time? Also agree painting the walls white will help, and a frameless shower screen would make it look more modern. Then add greenery as it will offset the floor colour nicely.

Paint the walls of the room white to match the tiles and change the flooring its bringing the room down and making it feel cold. You could go with a laminate floor if you're not wanting to re tile. You will need professional do to this though as waterproofing in bathroom is important. As N.B. interiors said above, replacing the shower screen would make a huge difference but that depends on your budget.

I will put some photos below for inspo

Oh those shower hobs are just dreadful, matching the impossible to clean toilet plumbing so beloved of Australian builders in the 60s and 70s.

You may find that the tiles were put on using a mixture of glue and cement as well, really difficult to remove.

It looks as if the toilet is plumbed from an awkward side position so putting in a modern one without exposed pipes would be tricky and may need to chase space into the bricks, after removing the tiles.

The boundless joy of getting tradies in to gut one of these with jackhammers and refit - not cheap, takes weeks to complete waiting for things to dry, and very dusty.

Requires the full parade of trades, plumbers, tilers, electrics, waterproofers all trying to work in the same space.

Should add value to sale and rental yields, If the property is worth it, I would recommend using a full service team and work the design until you are totally happy, most of the cost is labour if you don't overcapitalise on the fittings.

Enjoy

This is a combo bathroom laundry. The tiny vanity was bought to fit before we discovered the cavity was empty and not structural. Can easily be replaced with a fully wall hung one now.

I would leave the walls and just tile over the slate in a modern tile (provided slate is not dummy). Then replace the shower screen and fittings.

Re fresh the grout, paint the wall white, and add some wood elements to enhance the floor. Also add some plants to add life to the room. It has good bones just need some character. Good luck

The only thing that is really ugly with this bathroom is the floor tiles and old shower screen. I'm all for getting new shower screen install. Repaint the whole bathroom with tile paint and for the floor get good quality water marine grade merbau timber and put timber decking over the bathroom floor. New shower head and tap fittings if you see fit.

I think you are lucky to have a nice neutral bathroom. I would paint walls white, get new frameless shower screen and regrout tiles if needed. Then add colourful towels and accessories.
