My mother used to use shoe polish on the grout. She was a cleaning maniac&her house was always immaculate. She even cleaned before the cleaning lady came! That bathroom tile was the whitest in town ( tiny hexagon tiles).
painting the grout lines a different color makes such a HUGE difference!! it makes the painted tile look a million times better. this turned out so good! nice work! saving for future reference 😊
I always start a roller by saturating it with the paint, squeeze all the excess out, then roll it on the tray til it's painting more evenly. Saves a lot of time and pain!
This is really great!! We cannot afford to re tile our bathroom floor so I was looking for other options. My husband wants black and white checkers so we shall see how that goes lol I am contemplating black grout lines but will keep mowing it over. Thanks for the tips!!
It’s the grout that’s a pain in the keester. I’ve done it years ago the darken light grout in a tiny bathroom and it held up really well in a home with one bathroom. Great job ladies. Oh, by the way whoever laid that tile in her bathroom did a perfect job. That work has held up really well.
@@tomiep6880 I painted the grout in my old bathroom. There is a product specific for this at Home Depot. I had beige ceramic tile with light grout and I painted the grout a medium brown. The grout is made of a very textured grittiness so the paint adhere very well. I never had to redo it and while I was doing it I immediately wiped off any excess that was on the tile so it wouldn’t adhere to the tile. It made the tile work look more finished and not just like dirty grout. It lasted for years until I sold that home.
I have watched several video,this is good paint and great ideas,however I would definitely recommend rugs for the high traffic areas to help this last longer !
@@KatherineForbesomg! I was wondering why you didn’t use them. Makes perfect sense that you didn’t know. So- in watching this video, I have one question- do I need to clean my hideous grout prior to painting? This would involve me on a skateboard with a toothbrush and small steam cleaner. Back problems oh yes! But with the paint. That just seems like extra work. Do you agree?
@@crystalgraham1875 I cleaned the grout all 3 times I painted floors. Here's the way I did it that didn't involve a toothbrush haha: ruclips.net/video/9gOAtTrmBpI/видео.html
RIGHT!? Funny you say that because yesterday my husband reheated some leftovers on a tray in the oven without using foil and I was (jokingly) like "OMG you messed up my perfectly clean tray and didn't use tin foil!?!" haha tin foil makes easy clean up for so many things.
I love the look of stark white tile, looks so clean and polished. My grout is a nasty gray color and i hate it...it looks dingy and dirty. I know we all have different tastes and you all did a fabulous job. Def gonna try!
I don't know why I never thought of thos, thank you SO much for the inspiration. I have fake travertine in my bathroom that was installed in the early 90d and it has aged hideously. I'm excited for a challenge now!
Just came across your video!! I’ve purchased all the products needed to start our master bath, we actually have hideous carpet in our bathroom, yes I said carpet & 3 different colors of tile!! Can you believe this is a custom home (05) lol!! Thank you for making this video!!
You guys are cute friends. Just came across this video while trying to figure out how to reno my moms pediatric clinic without blowing the budget- love your channel and these tips! Had NO IDEA you could paint over tile like this!? Thank you :)
An angled paint brush (like a makeup brush) would be really helpful with the grout lines. The floor came out great! Can paint withstand shower grout? Thanks for making this!
Clorox toilet cleaner with spout top is really good for whitening shower tile grout ( if you have white grout 😊). It's the blue stuff. Let it sit a while. The blue doesn't stain.
Looks amazing! Question though - Seeing that the existing grout lines were already grey in color - Couldn't you have just taped over them before you painting the tile? Or would method made the edges prone to chipping?
It's been great! This update video was filmed earlier this year but honestly the floors haven't changed a bit since then :-) ruclips.net/video/dfqCP5FyC_0/видео.html
This is at a friend's house... but I can tell you my kitchen that I did almost a year before Emily's bathroom is holding up great 2 years later... and we have 2 dogs (one being a Great Dane) and they go in/outside every day through the kitchen. So if nothing has happened at this point, I think we're in the clear haha
@@KatherineForbes Thank you. if the glossy tiles on the floor are painted, the paint will not scratch off easily? Will it adhere to the glossy surface?
Love this so much! Can't wait to try mine. My bathroom is white with a lot of deep-ish aqua wall tiles and PALE aqua floor tiles. UGH! We call the bathroom 'The Swimming Pool'. There's only two of us, so not heaps of traffic. Please let me know if Emily's bathroom floor has held up really well? Thank you. from Oz
This is a great tutorial. We are up to the top coat - we just opened the can (labeled Top Coat/Matte) and it looks white. Does that sound right? Thank you.
Yep! Sorry, just saw this. It does look pretty milky and goes on somewhat white but clears when it dries. Guessing you already figured this out though ;-)
Yes I used the top coat that came with the Rustoleum Home floor paint kit! I mop, vacuum, sweep, swifter, and Magic Eraser clean my floors and it all works just fine!
It's a floor paint specifically for floors made my Rustoleum... you don't need to dilute it with anything. I choose the matte finish but there's also a shiny/gloss finish option if you prefer.
I think a checkerboard pattern, gray and white, would have been classically beautiful and interesting. The base boards need painting in my bathroom too. Wouldn't you do them before the tile? Or no? The bright white on the floor makes the baseboards look kind of dirty.
Thanks for the video. I have accent tiles on my floor that I want to paint, not the whole floor. Do you think I can paint them without painting the grout if I have a good brush and go slowly? The consistency of the paint looks pretty thick. I was afraid it would be watery and running everywhere. Is rustoleum floor paint and topcoat water cleanup or mineral spirits?
You can definitely do accent tiles - I did a pretty detailed pattern in my own bathroom. Just don't put too much paint on your roller/brush and tape if/when you can. The gray/white is pretty thick but the top coat is much more watery, so just be aware of that!
@@KatherineForbes One more question-I can’t find this information anywhere, not even on the Rustoleum website. Is this product soap and water cleanup or mineral spirits?
Also, how do you keep the dogs off the floor while the paint/topcoat is drying? Mine is in a hallway and I can only block one of the doorways. The front entrance tiles will be even harder to keep her off since she often sleeps there . She has to go through there to go to bed at night, too. I think we will have to carry her-She is over 45 pounds. 🙄
The Rustoleum Home kit comes with a base "color" (white/gray for us - I picked 2) and then the top coat (which I picked matte). Emily and her husband did the top coat on their own the next day, so it's not documented in this video, but you can check out the process in my kitchen floor video here: ruclips.net/video/5Ib-eeYPYYc/видео.html
@@KatherineForbes Thank you!! I so appreciate the update and I'm glad it's been working out for you! I've heard other types of floor coverings just aren't very good, and since this is such a new product, there aren't many long term testimonials out there. This is great to know, and I'm even more excited now!!!
Beautiful work... I'm in the middle updating the guest bathroom and going to paint the bathtub, wall tile and floor tiles. Check out rustoleum topside marine paints. I'm going to give it a try. When I was doing my research alot of diyers recommended it over the tile and tube products that are expensive and messy.
I've painted my kitchen floors and after almost 2 years it hasn't stained from anything... and I clean with a Swiffer mainly! ruclips.net/video/cZZdZYeRH4c/видео.html
Might be easier as far as application - but this paint is so solid, I trust its durability more than I think I would a grout marker. Plus, the top coat is meant to seal this paint specifically, and I'm not sure how it would work with the marker. (All that said, I've never used a grout marker.)
It looks fantastic 🤩. What sort of paint dit you use for the grout lines? I’m about to paint the tiles in my toilet and I was wondering about how to leave the grouts.
I tried the same thing you're doing this morning with a paintbrush and pain't brushing paint on grout it just kept sucking it up The paint that is So unless you're ready to put it down pretty Thick I don't think it will work
It looks fabulous, great job!! I'm thinking of giving it a go - if I use a light grey tile paint, do I absolutely have to paint grout lines? I HATE grout!!!!

Yes!! Finally someone who paints them too 🙏🙏
I love the fact that y’all both had so much patience and friends having fun!!!! The floor looks great!!!!!
I was going to comment on not taping until i saw you lay that razor sharp line. Boss level.
Something about the gray grout just makes the white look so much brighter! 😍
Glad you like it too!
I always start a roller by saturating it with the paint, squeeze all the excess out, then roll it on the tray til it's painting more evenly. Saves a lot of time and pain!
Loved that you helped your friend!
Finally someone who also paints the grout lines!!! Thank you
I think it looks great solid! I know it must have taken a lot of time to do the grout lines, but i feel that one solid color would have been great!
The gray walls with the gray grout looks so polished! Beautiful!
The gray floor paint and wall paint colors couldn't have been a better match - and it wasn't even on purpose! :-)
Hoe long will this paint stay on those tiles?

Do we use special paint that won’t gets erased by the water the bathrooms always get with shower and everything- waterproof paints?
Yep, this is Rustoleum Home, meant specifically for floors. Check description for all products I used :-)
I have the same tile.I’m painting the grout black first and if I don’t like it I already have my gallon of paint ready to go.
I'm motivated!! I'm going to paint my kitchen floor tiles black!! I think it'll look beautiful!
Thank you so much for the inspiration!!

many years so far!!
OMG girls, don't be scared to get some paint on that roller. Haha
It was painful to watch
Looks amazing! Question though - Seeing that the existing grout lines were already grey in color - Couldn't you have just taped over them before you painting the tile? Or would method made the edges prone to chipping?
that would've meant edging every single tile rather than using a roller for the whole floor!
I’d like to see it after a year or two of wear. I bet it peels/bubbles up.
No peels/bubbles at all! ruclips.net/video/dfqCP5FyC_0/видео.html&pp=sAQA
I did mine almost 4 years ago, no issues at all. Two bathrooms, high traffic too. I used chalk paint, and put polyurethane over it. Works perfectly.

My question is this: does this paint works on floors with white glossy tiles, or even on the shower walls?
On the floors should be fine, but it's not meant for showers. I do think Rustoleum has a separate paint line for that though!

Yes top coat is definitely necessary - it's part of the paint set. It's Rustoleum, linked in description for more details!
Please explain if it is water base or oil base paint and how to dilute. Is it ok to use polyurethane just to make the tiles more shiny?
It's a floor paint specifically for floors made my Rustoleum... you don't need to dilute it with anything. I choose the matte finish but there's also a shiny/gloss finish option if you prefer.
how is the paint now ? is all still good attach on the tiles ?
Yes, held up great!!
I’m going to try this with my kitchen. Does the floor paint differ from regular wall paint? Worried that it’ll get wait and leave it funny 😅
Yes you definitely need to get floor paint!! Do not use wall paint on your floors.
