What is the correct way to paint around tiles?

vor 6 Jahren

I have tiled my bathroom to 1200mm around walls and now want to paint but not sure whether the paint should be above grout line or below. Some people have told me to paint over the grout and the edge of the tile but I didn't think that would look right. Would appreciate some advice.

    It's very unusual not to have an edging on the tiles. I would think it would look cheap and unfinished.

      Do you have a tile edge, or is it just tiles then wall?

      Personally I'd add a tile edge, even if it's glued. Paint wall to tiles, then glue on a nice metallic strip. They're supposed to be installed as the last tile is being installed, but I'm sure you can get something with the same look.

      I don't have a tile edge just tiles, wall with grout between. Not sure if I want to have a metallic strip on there. Thanks for your response

      It isn't too late to add a small 'pencil' tile along the top. It doesn't need to be a metal strip. The finishing tile doesn't need to be big or imposing either. I think the trick with doing dado tiling to 1200mm is really finishing it off properly at the top, else it runs the risk of looking cheap as robandlyn suggests.

      As said above the metal strip is generally installed during the tiling. I just could not sway my hubby to go with a capping tile in our budget ensuite reno, but in hindsight he agrees we should have.... Anyway, I decided to tape the tiles and paint over the grout as with the darker paint colour it helps it recede. The grout line isn't too noticeable from a distance thankfully, but here is a close up which might help you decide what to do

      @scottevie has done a very nice job. I would have said not paint the grout it will look a on the cheap makeover but Vecbeen swayed by a good job. My preference would be no paint on the grout but if you do as good job it'll look ok. If it suits your look and budget I would vote for a capping tile as best of all.

      I have always asked my guys to paint only the top edge of the tile and wipe the face clean with a rag so none of the paint is left on the face or grout. Painting the top of the tile helps to further seal the gap between the wall and tile, making it easier to clean and less likely to provide crevices for bugs and germs to dwell. www.odysseystudios.com.au
