Default Bathtub wall tiles peeling...

"G" wrote in message

I guess the previous owner had an old bathtub/tiles sprayed with some
kind of white enamel paint or something because some of the edges of the
tiles that are hit by water constantly are starting to peel/crack off
exposing the original ugly tile underneath.

I bought "porc-a-fix" at home depot and was going to give that a try to
prevent water from getting into the tiles and peeling it inside out, but
is there a more common way to touch-up the tiles treated with such an
overcoat? Are there spray-on glossy white enamel paints I should use
instead?

Any tips/suggestions much appreciated!



Ever heard the term "cob job"? Sounds like the prior owner did a real cob
job with your walls. Tear it all down and do it right. It'll be a pain in
the ass, but you'll feel so good when it looks gorgeous, and the
installation is as bulletproof as you can make it.
