Instead of replacing a feature like, let’s say a tile countertop, you can just paint it and make it look like new again. You won’t be using regular paint because that will peal right off. Look for something more durable like this tile tub and sink refinishing kit. Clean the tile, apply the first coat and let it dry for a few hours. Then apply the second coat and that’s pretty much it.{found on livelovediy}.
