    Bathroom needs renovating but it be a few years down the line - was thinking of stenciling the tiles as a stop gap

    eg. https://www.thestencilstudio.com/collections/tile-stencils

    Anyone any experiance of doing this themselves ? is it a hard job ? I be looking to doing floor and area around bath/shower. Bathroom is pretty small so its not a big job in that sense but not sure if it be complex thing to do and Ill make a mess of it !

    I can't imagine tile paint on a floor would last pissing time tbh...

    I've looked into it for similar reasons (our downstairs bathroom is awful and it'll be years until I can afford to re-do it) and the general experience seems to be that painting tiles is extremely difficult and time-consuming to do well and that it rarely holds up.

    I'd say they look great when it's new, but it seems like the sort of thing that would look really awful as soon as it starts to show signs of fading or coming off.
