What Makes Tile Paint Special?

Painting tiles is incredibly easy with our colours. Traditional tile paints often involve a complicated two-component mixing process and require quick application. They can also be harsh on your senses and health, with unpleasant odours lingering for a long time. MissPompadour tile paints allow you to paint at your own pace without any harsh smells.

Our MissPompadour tile paints are ready to use, practically odourless, and can be applied even if you're new to DIY. They're easy to apply to tiles and grout. Thanks to their slightly thicker consistency, bubbles are minimised, ensuring a smooth finish. You can even apply a second coat after just 4–6 hours.

The tile paints from our online shop also boast high opacity. Whether your substrate is light or dark, after 2–3 coats, it will be completely covered. Our soft, silky-matt Easy Eggshell! offers an elegant look, is robust, and easy to clean. You can carefully walk on the surface after just a few hours of drying. CosyColours chalk varnishes and LittlePomp chalk varnishes are completely matt paints with a velvety surface that enhances colour depth.

Our tile paints adhere to almost all surfaces. However, there are a few exceptions: waxed or otherwise treated tiles, and those with a lotus effect, generally cannot be painted.

When Should You Use Tile Paint?

Whenever you're tired of your old tiles, our tile paint is the perfect solution! Forget about replacing tiles; paint is all you need to completely transform your space. Whether you want to cover colourful, dated tiles with a neutral shade or add a pop of colour with bold turquoise or orange tile paint, you'll find your perfect hue here. For tile paint for floors, paint for kitchen tiles, wall tiles, or floor tiles, our paints can refresh almost any surface.

Sanding your tiles isn't necessary with our paints; thorough cleaning is sufficient preparation. We even have a solution for silicone joints: painting over them with MissPompadour To Seal Silicone makes them paintable! After preparation, prime your tiles with To Bond & Block. Once dry, apply one coat of paint – two coats are sufficient in most cases. Especially for floor tiles, high-traffic areas like kitchen backsplashes, and damp environments, we recommend a final coat of MissPompadour To Seal for an extra protective layer that extends the coating's lifespan. The full curing time after sealing is approximately 14 days, but the paint can be carefully used before then.

Tile Paint: Colours for Every Taste

We know choosing the right colour can be tricky. That's why we make it simple! Special tile paints aren't necessary, and our paints offer excellent opacity.

What Colours Are Available as Tile Paint?

You can choose from many fantastic colours. Whether you're looking for grey or blue tile paint, pink or black tile paint – you'll find your favourite shade here! Tip: Colours can look slightly different on screen than on your wall, so order our colour charts in advance to help you choose the perfect hue.

Can I Paint Tiles with Chalk Paint?

Chalk paints are ideal for painting tiles that experience minimal wear. In MissPompadour's CosyColours collection, you'll find over 30 warm pastel shades, and LittlePomp chalk varnishes are also suitable. These matt varnishes are robust and easy to clean, making them perfect for wall tiles. However, for heavily used tiles on floors or in damp areas, we recommend our robust Easy Eggshell!

Painting Tiles: Application Tips

How much tile paint per square metre?

As a rule, 1 litre of tile paint is sufficient for 8 to 10 m² with 2 coats, depending on the quality and substrate. We also recommend at least 2 coats so that your tile paint can develop its full robustness and colour brilliance. It's best to roughly calculate the area you want to paint. Then simply enter the number of square metres into the quantity calculator, which you'll find next to each colour in the shop. The calculated consumption always refers to 2 coats, which is sufficient for most colours. However, depending on the painting technique and the shade you choose, it can sometimes be more. Some colours, like red tile paints, often require a third coat, as red tones generally cover less well than other colours. You can find general tips on painting in this blog.

Is tile paint waterproof?

Of course, our tile varnishes cannot simply be wiped away with water, so nothing stands in the way of a new tile colour in the bathroom. However, if you paint tiles that come into contact with water very often - e.g. in the shower or on the backsplash in the kitchen - you should additionally protect the varnish from the increased moisture load with MissPompadour To Seal.

Please note that our varnishes do not tolerate standing water. We therefore advise against painting floor tiles inside a shower or uncovered tiles outdoors. Of course, you can also clean painted tiles with mild cleaning agents.

Which tiles should I prime?

We recommend that you always prime tiles with MissPompadour To Bond & Block. Silicone joints should be treated with To Seal Silicone before priming. This makes the silicone joints paintable. You can find detailed instructions on how to paint your floor tiles in our blog Painting floor tiles.

Which tiles should I seal after painting?

The durability of heavily used tiles is increased by the topcoat. We therefore recommend sealing floor tiles and wall tiles in the shower in particular.

How long does the tile paint last?

This depends to a large extent on how much the tiles are used on a daily basis, so it is difficult to give specific details here. Of course, floor tiles usually wear out faster than wall tiles. However, we always receive feedback from customers who painted two or more years ago and are still very satisfied. Tip: Small scratches can be easily corrected afterwards - so it's worth keeping the rest of the tile paint!
