Thanks all for your suggestions. I'll see if I can get it done for
$350; I'm guessing it would be more than that now, as the poster said
it's been awhile since his job was done.


It was less than a year ago I had this done is the good news. The bad
news is that in my job, there was no paint to strip off. And estimate
from a tile refinisher doesn't cost anything though.


Thanks again. Do you know if they spray painted yours? The test tile I
did with a roller looked okay, but not as smooth as it had been, so
I'm guessing it was sprayed before. Also, don't know how to do the
soap dish and towel bar and have it look good without spraying (figure
the brush strokes would show?; no experience with a brush). But also
never done spraying, so hesitate to do that.


They used a air sprayer and heavey duty ventilation. It wasn't just a
paint, it was a coating that chemically and phyically bonded to the
tile surface.
