I am trying to strip old tile paint from bathroom tiles that are starting to chip/peel in some places. Not sure what type of paint or when it was done, but the tiles seem to have been painted over to cover up some chipped and ugly tiles. The tiles themselves would be around 30-40 years old, and I can't find any replacements for the chipped ones
I've tried a chemical paint over paint remover in some sections but it is very messy, doesn't remove the paint completely, and can't stand the fumes. Also tried scraping with a paint scraper, which is a lot cleaner but it is slow and tedious. Does anyone have any experience with removing tile paint that can offer some advice?
Also thinking of getting a contractor in to tile over the existing tiles as the walls are uneven and another owner had a hard time removing his tiles. Would it be worthwhile to strip the old paint first, or just tile over everything? Thank you!
