    I have an old house as an IP and the bathroom is full grandma style with pink and move tiles everywhere including the bath tub.Is it possible,costly and tricky to paint them white with special paint?

    There is a product on the market from White Knight which is made for painting over glazed tiles – visit hardware heaven to pick up a can. Alternatively, if you want a professional job, there are several companies who will respray tiles and baths on site – this is quite effective and does not scratch off although like anything it will chip if hit hard enough.

    Thanks for that.

    This is a property that may get knocked down in a couple of years so I want to do it cheaply.Do you happen to know if it looks half decent if painted?

    It depends upon what you mean by 'cheaply'.  A sprayed job will always look much better than one applied by brush. Call one of the spray mobs, it will probably cost less than $1k.

    The white Knight range for tiles will do well.
    A lot of investors go this option, and it looks GREAT in photos
    Don't know how it stacks up close up but many swear by it.
