Tile coating for bathrooms and showers
Yes, tiles can be painted over. On a dry wall, you can do this yourself with tile paint. In the shower and on the floor, preparation and materials determine whether the paint will last. We coat your existing tiles in over 250 colours, using a spray process, with 8 years‘ guarantee against peeling, yellowing, and cracking.
AT A GLANCE
We coat bathroom tiles in over 250 colours, without removing a single tile. The tile grid remains visible. The work usually takes around two days and typically costs between €2,200 and €4,300, with an 8-year guarantee.

WE UNDERSTAND YOUR CONCERNS
Not on the bare glaze. It needs a primer and a matching lacquer. That’s why we first clean, degrease, and prime the surfaces, then apply the coating in two spray layers.
That is the most demanding area in the bathroom, as water stands on the surface daily. Many tile paints from retailers are approved for wall surfaces, but not for showers. Our material system is designed for wet areas; we have been coating there for over 30 years.
If you paint yourself, you paint over it, and any mould underneath remains. We put the grout right beforehand: old silicone joints are removed, tile grout is renewed and sealed. Only then is the paint applied.
The grout lines remain visible as a fine relief, but the surface appears calmer and the colour is continuous. If you want to get rid of the tile look completely, choose the seamless wall coating.
TAILORED TO YOUR BATHROOM
250+ colours
The most common job: Old wall tiles receive a new colour, while the tile grid remains as a subtle relief. Not a single tile needs to be removed.
Paint yourself or have it professionally coated
Accents
Individual rows of tiles can be highlighted in colour, as stripes, borders, or an accent wall behind the shower. The colour chart shows what is possible.

THE DIFFERENCE
Tile paint from retail stores and a professional tile coating are not the same. The difference lies less in the paint itself and more in the preparation beforehand and the demands placed on the surface afterwards.
| DIY painting | bazuba Tile coating | |
|---|---|---|
| Preparation | Cleaning, sanding, priming – all done by hand | Surfaces are cleaned, repaired, and primed |
| Joints | Painted over, mould remains underneath | Silicone joints removed, tile grout renewed and sealed |
| Application | Roller and brush, overlaps often remain visible | Two coats applied by spraying, even surface |
| Shower and floor | Many tile paints are not approved for this purpose | Material system for wet areas, including floors |
| Colour selection | Whatever the DIY store currently stocks | Over 250 colours, borders available on request |
| Guarantee | none | 8 years against peeling, yellowing, and cracking |
| Duration | Several weekends, plus drying times | Around two days, bathroom remains usable |
On a dry wall, carefully applied tile paint can certainly last for several years. It becomes critical where water is present daily: in the shower, around the bath, and on the floor.
COSTS
Having the wall tiles in the bathroom coated usually costs between approximately €2,200 and €4,300We will provide the fixed price after the free inspection.
What the price depends on: the area, the condition of the tiles and joints, and the desired colour. Compared to removing and re-tiling, you save mainly because there is no construction debris and fewer trades are required. If you want to renovate the entire bathroom cost-effectively, you will find in the ECO-Bad from around €8,000 the package with coated tiles, coated bathtub and vinyl flooring.
CUSTOMER FEEDBACK
„On the recommendation of a friend, we got in touch with bazuba Rostock for our bathroom renovation. Since it’s a rental apartment, there were quite a few things to consider with the landlord/owner’s approval, but we were able to implement many individual wishes at our own expense. The initial contact was very pleasant, and first, an assessment was made, and of course, the initial ideas and wishes for the project were recorded. The basic task was to transform the over 20-year-old tiled bathroom with an old bathtub into a modern seamless bathroom with a walk-in rain shower. The company’s showroom had quite a few displays, where we could get our first personal impressions. Then we put together the rest from the catalogs, and we also relied on the advice and recommendations of the boss there, who contributed some great ideas. Then we received an offer with a 3D visualization of the finished bathroom. This allowed us to work very well together with the owner and bazuba on the details and arrive at a final result. The correspondence between bazuba and the owner also went very smoothly, and we were very well informed about delivery times, construction times, and the entire process up to the finished bathroom. We helped set up the construction site by covering the floor and cabinets, and the company’s employees were very friendly and informative about the work steps. We hardly had to ask anything because every morning we were informed about what would happen that day until quitting time. The announced construction time was even undercut by 2 days because everything really fit together, and the trades worked hand in hand. The handover and the finished result, including explanations of all the components, care instructions, and warranties, worked wonderfully and were presented to us very transparently. All in all, we are very satisfied with the result, and for the small space available, it almost feels like being in a good hotel when you step into the shower in the morning 😉 I can definitely recommend bazuba Rostock and am happy to show some before-and-after pictures. It’s not decorated or furnished yet, but it’s about the raw result."

„Complete renovation of bathroom and WC — After weeks of searching online for a company that could take on our project (complete renovation of bathroom and WC), we came across bazuba. Although all customer reviews pointed to an outstanding company, we still felt the need to visit the company location in Guntramsdorf in person first. But from that moment on, it was clear to us that only this company was suitable for our project. The exceptionally warm, competent, polite, friendly, and patient team immediately convinced us. From then on, everything went very quickly. We arranged an inspection appointment with Mr. Weninger. The inspection, consultation, measuring, and addressing special requests all took place in a very friendly and relaxed atmosphere. The gentleman was very patient and really took a lot of time for us, only leaving once even the smallest detail was clarified. After the very detailed offer and placing the order, the renovation work began punctually on the agreed date. From here on, I have to keep it short, otherwise I would need two more pages. ALL involved, whether subcontractors or the truly outstanding bazuba specialists, carried out their tasks so competently, punctually, cleanly, almost dust-free, quickly, friendly, politely, courteously, professionally, precisely, and expertly that words almost fail me. The continuous support and (after)care of my project are also worth highlighting. After completing the very extensive work, I now have two real gems (bathroom and WC), and I find myself spending much more time there than really necessary. The conclusion of a highly satisfied and enthusiastic customer: the best 10-star company I have ever dealt with. I have recommended and will always recommend bazuba."

„Everything just fits perfectly! :o) — We had our roughly 50-year-old bathroom and the equally old toilet renovated by bazuba, and also had the shower in the second bathroom modernized. From the very first (phone) contact, we had a good feeling. Bathroom planner Raffael came to our home and went through the various measures with us, advising us well and being very patient. We were also able to discuss the price well with him, and in the end, he made us an offer that we were very happy with. We had also obtained quotes from competitors, which were significantly more expensive — we’re talking +50% and more. The implementation then went perfectly. First came the dismantling team, then the electricians, the plasterers/floor layers, and finally the assembly team. Overall, the work took almost three weeks, but that was agreed upon in advance and was therefore fine. All workers always arrived as scheduled, were very friendly, explained a lot to us, and did a great job. We were also very grateful that they pointed out some possible/necessary improvements to us. Spontaneous change requests on our part were received and implemented kindly. At the same time, planner Raffael and project manager Anel were always reachable for us and responded quickly to our questions. The result speaks for itself: from old-fashioned, dark rooms with very worn installations, we now have friendly, modern wet rooms that you enjoy entering again. The planning concept was implemented 100% in reality and at what we believe is a really fair price. No hassle with the craftsmen, quite the opposite — it was a pleasure, and we can warmly recommend the entire bazuba team."

„Due to water damage in 2023 and subsequent repair work by a specialist company, we were then looking for a company to get our bathroom back in shape. This turned out to be not so easy; local companies either declined due to lack of time or didn’t show up despite appointments. Through internet research, we came across bazuba in Karlsruhe. We quickly had a first appointment with Mr. Glutsch. He arrived on time at our place, listened to our ideas about remodeling the bathroom, and shared his professional knowledge and comments. He took measurements, made notes, and promised to prepare an offer, which arrived in the shortest time. Due to several work appointments with bazuba, he already told us in advance that the work would be delayed and we should expect a date in March/April. But that didn’t matter to us in the end, since thanks to the preliminary work of the renovation company, we could still use our 30-year-old bathroom. When choosing the ceramics and the walk-in shower, we were with Mr. Glutsch at C.Ufer in KA (top advice!). In April, the work started on our partially renovated bathroom. After about 2 weeks, we could fully use our new bathroom; for the shower enclosure, we had to make do with a temporary solution, which was replaced after 5 weeks by a glass partition from Kermi. All in all, we were very impressed by the support and advice from bazuba (special thanks to Mr. Glutsch). A big compliment to the two skilled workers responsible for the work!! Without a doubt, 5 stars for bazuba."

„Good decision! — We chose BAZUBA because of a report on an online portal... and we have no regrets! Our wishes were discussed and planned in the showroom with an incredible amount of patience. Even changes and special requests before the renovation started were implemented quickly and easily. The entire construction team also deserves mention – everyone was without exception polite and friendly. I especially want to mention Mr. Robert, who brightened every one of our site visits with his good mood. In hindsight, we can now list the following reasons why we recommend BAZUBA to everyone: 1.) The price – All other quotes were about 25% higher than BAZUBA’s. 2.) The team – As already mentioned, patience and friendliness are top priorities here. 3.) The planning – None of our wishes were considered impossible. Even special requests were gladly fulfilled. 4.) The working time – A conventional renovation would have taken at least 4 weeks and the whole house would have been dusty. BAZUBA finished on schedule in 2 weeks. 5.) The quality – Nothing wobbles, nothing is scratched. The bathtub looks like new. The walls are flawless. Every joint fits perfectly. 6.) The look – We chose a seamless bathroom. Compared to tiles, our bathroom now feels much friendlier and warmer. 7.) The warranty! All in all, we are satisfied customers and would have our bathroom renovated by BAZUBA again anytime."

„Perfect! Absolutely recommend. — Tub out and shower in! From start to finish, we can only give the highest praise. The consultant, Mr. Raffael Weninger, gave us excellent advice at home. He took our needs into account and came up with a perfect plan for us with his great ideas. The craftsmen also deserve the highest praise. They were extremely careful to avoid dust and dirt, which is not easy with this kind of work. The first two days, two careful installers took on their responsible tasks. After all, all newly laid water pipes and drains have to be completely sealed. The third and fourth days belonged to the quick gentlemen Jànos and Gàbor, who were able to complete this partial renovation on time — without taking a break! It must be said that all "our" four craftsmen are extremely friendly and hardworking. Otherwise, our project would not have been completed perfectly in this relatively short time. On the third day, the company owner visited us, checked on the progress, and asked about our satisfaction so far. That builds trust. Now we enjoy our new shower pleasure every day! We gladly recommend this company with its great employees. Warm regards! Christian & Sylvia Karner"

FREQUENT QUESTIONS
Yes. Tiles can be painted over if the substrate is solid and the surface is prepared: clean, degrease, roughen or treat with adhesion promoter, prime. Without this step, no paint will adhere permanently to the smooth glaze. On a dry wall, such as next to the washbasin, you can do this yourself. In the shower, on the bath, and on the floor, the material determines whether the surface will last. We apply the coating in two spray layers and give 8 years‘ guarantee against peeling, yellowing, and cracking.
Normal wall paint will not last. You need a coordinated system of primer and lacquer, usually sold as tile paint or tile lacquer based on epoxy or polyurethane. The manufacturer’s specification for wet areas is crucial: many products are approved for wall surfaces, but explicitly not for showers and floors. Check this before buying, as this is where most attempts fail. We use a material system designed for wet areas.
Yes, but it is the most demanding surface in the bathroom. Water stands there daily, plus temperature changes and cleaners. If the substrate, grout, or material are not right, this will show up in the shower first. We therefore prepare this area separately: the old silicone joints are completely removed, the tile grout is renewed and sealed, and only then is the coating applied. If desired, the floor can also be made slip-resistant.
In most cases, yes. The glaze is smooth and does not accept paint on its own. The surface is either sanded or treated with an adhesion promoter, depending on the manufacturer’s instructions. Thorough degreasing is also necessary, as soap and care residues go deeper than you think. If this step is skipped, the paint will later peel off at the edges.
Almost always when doing it yourself, because the paint runs from the tile into the grout. The surface then appears calmer, but everything in the grout remains underneath, including mould. That’s why we put the grout right beforehand: we completely remove old silicone joints, renew and seal the tile grout. Only then is the coating applied, and finally we apply fresh silicone joints.
We give 8 years‘ guarantee against peeling, yellowing, and cracking. From over 30 years of experience, we know that the surfaces stay beautiful for much longer. To ensure this, you should avoid abrasive cleaners and products with scouring agents; a normal bathroom cleaner and a soft cloth are sufficient.
This depends on the area, the condition of the tiles and joints, the desired colour, and travel costs. As a guideline, coating bathroom wall tiles usually costs between €2,200 and €4,300. After a free inspection, you will receive a fixed price, no hidden costs. Compared to removing and re-laying tiles, you save mainly because there is no construction debris and fewer trades are required.
You can find more figures, examples by bathroom size, and our price calculator in the guide. Bathroom renovation costs.
Tile stickers and films are inexpensive and quick, but they are applied to each tile individually and become visible at the edges and joints. In wet areas, the edges will come loose over time. In contrast, a coating creates a continuous surface that covers both joints and edges. If you want to completely get rid of the tile look, choose the Seamless wall coating.
Waterproof and completely seamless, applied directly onto the existing tiles.
Large, waterproof panels with minimal joints, available in wood, concrete, or stone effect.
We usually renew silicone and tile joints within a day, and tile joints even without scraping them out.
Send us a photo of your bathroom and we will tell you what is possible with your tiles. No obligation and no pressure.
