Upgrading Bathroom Tiles for Rental Property

Kalene Smith

Hey BPers,

I have a rental property that needs a little face lift before I put it on the market.  The bathroom has pink tiles that I am debating on gutting or painting.  Has anyone here painted tiles before and if so would you recommend it for a rental?  Or if this is your rental would you gut and redo?

I would like to stay in a budget of $1500.  

Here is the tile painting website with a little info Green Refinishings

Kalene,

I can tell you that the epoxy is def the way to go. Like the other posts its all in the preparation. We do the tubs and tiles on almost every property we purchase and they look amazing. Since it's sprayed over the grout we don't have to worry about mold. My local guy charges 250 for a tub and about 600 for a tub and complete tile surround and in our bathrooms the tile goes around the entire bathroom not just the tub. That ugly pink or gray tile turns into beautiful sparkling white tile. Look for a company that specializes in this. We get a 10 year guarantee and in the one instance when we found a chip on turnover he came right out and fixed it.
