All of our recommended specialist tile paints are tested using a small paint brush and a large, ceramic tile with a decorative glaze. Each coat of paint is allowed to dry for the recommended time, with a second coat applied if directed. One-coat products are left as a single coat to assess their claims of effectiveness. Ronseal are a trusted brand but on this occasion the paint seems very slightly off the mark. If you’re going to go with this paint make sure you have enough for a couple of coats. If you’re familiar with our guides, you’ll know that Rust-Oleum are one of our favourite paints to use and we felt like we should include them in this guide too. Whilst Johnstone’s tile paint is overall better than this one, Rust Oleum have the advantage of offering a high quality paint with scope for lots of customisation.

Transformations
In the past, we’ve had many customers ask us “Does tile paint work?” and the simple answer is yes. Many companies like Johnstone’s and Dulux specifically formulate paint that’s designed to have high adhesion to ceramic surfaces, making them ideal for application on tiles.
The specialist mould and water-resistant formula is perfect for steamy kitchens. Highly durable against everyday splashes and spills, this contemporary kitchen paint is available for use on glass, ceramic and stone tiles. This particular tile paint is one of the toughest and most durable on the market and is ideal for use in either the bathroom or kitchen. When compared to Dulux’s conventional water-based satin paints, it’s roughly 10x stronger which should give you a good idea as to how strong it is! With that being said, some tile paints are better than others so our advice would always be to buy the paint you need for your specific job. Tile Paint Colours Guide Clean Up: Remove as much product as possible from application equipment before washing with water. Do not empty into drains or water courses. Some local authorities have special facilities for the disposal of waste coatings.
Freshen up tired kitchen and bathroom tiles for a stylish new look with the best paint for tiles
Lighter colours are more prone to showing marks, dirt and dust but to us this isn’t necessarily a bad thing as it will help you keep your kitchen or bathroom clean. Neutral Colours Neutral colours such as grey, beige and sand will fit in seamlessly with your current colour scheme and avoid any disastrous colour clashes. Dark Colours As an all-in-one gloss paint and primer, it’s suitable for use on bathroom tiles due to its superior durability in conditions where water is prevalent. However, if you choose the wrong paint system, you could end up with a finished product that is bubbly, full of streaks and poor coverage. Coverage: Up to 14m²/ litre per coat. Coverage may vary depending upon method and rate of application and porosity of surface.
Highly concentrated for an exceptional depth of colour, transform hexagon, subway and diamond tiles with an immaculate matt finish. With no primer needed and a fast-drying time, updating your kitchen tiles has never been easier. Other factors we take into consideration during our tests include the range of colours or tinting available, the paint’s value for money – especially when assessing one-coat products and any additional properties such as mould, moisture or heat resistance. Finally, we look at whether the paint can be used on other surfaces, so leftover product can be used up elsewhere. The paint went on easily and, although we needed two coats to cover the pattern on our tiles, dried to a pleasantly glossy finish. The smell was noticeable, but not strong, and the surface was touch-dry in around four hours. Easy to apply by brush or roller, choose from 100+ stunning colours and find the ideal shade for timeless tiles If you were to apply a paint meant for walls then you’d have a problem as it isn’t formulated for use on ceramics meaning it wouldn’t have the same durability as tile paint.
