Sadly paint just isn’t hardwearing enough in a shower. I doubt stick on tiles will be either, they are usually used for floors or kitchen walls. Re-tiling isn’t a hugely expensive job.

Thank you.

We just don't want to re-tile as it would mean installing a new bathroom in a house we want to sell quickly.

Hi there, We have an assortment of floor tiles that you could choose from! I'd recommend any colour that's darker than the wall tiles, as it should mean you won't find yourself constantly worrying about cleaning up after yourself.

Hi the bathroom is taking shape, we have a working shower cubicle and the walls/floor are nearly tiled. However, when knocking down walls to create 2 bedrooms the builder masking taped the doors and upon removal has peeled off the gloss in sections. He is taking no responsibility because he said the decorator used one coat Dulux without scoring the doors. Do you agree he is not responsible? We had not planned to paint these doors. Thanks.

Update -- my plumber finally returned. Not sure what he did while here, but he told me again it wasn't working -- then he did some work on a radiator which had a small leak. We were having a long discussion about options on pumps, new showers, taps etc and I read out the installation guide and he tried it again, and suddenly it worked. It is bizarre as I don't know how many times i tried it previously. My friend who works in construction ALSO called earlier today and tried it several times to no avail. It must have been extremely stiff or perhaps the plumber realised some airlock whilst fixing the radiator since I think water pressure is much stronger since he went. Thanks for everyones help -- i learned lots on plumbing and a valuable lesson to take out the installation manuals myself and not trust that trades men know everything!!! I feel like celebrating!!

Hi. I'm a bit confused, have you bought the vanity and are looking to paint it? Is the rest of the bathroom fitted as you could add brass or copper taps for instance with a matching mirror? Accessories will also warm it. I like a little wooden stool in a bathroom which you can add accessories to i.e. A candle, natural sponge, flannel etc which has some texture. A plant on the window sill if you have one and then nice accessories for the sink and either some coloured towels or I like hammam ones. I've found a couple of pics but they may not post as houzz has issues :( These are using deep rich colours which may bring the cabinet towards you a little. A darker top for the vanity would also work

If you are wanting to sell, just give it a good clean and see how it goes. Painting the tiles could put buyers off?
