Does anyone know if it is possible to paint over wall tiles. And has anyone any experience in doing this if so.

Yes it’s possible all right. I did it some years ago in an en suite. A lot of prep work in cleaning tiles and ensuring a very good base primer coat. Then it took 2 coats of tile paint. Looked good when finished but unfortunately chipped very easily. Might be cheaper in the long run to re-tile. Good luck with it.

Tiles are around a work top in a kitchen. Might not be a good idea if easily chipped then. Thanks for the help.
