Living-room floor tiles
Dated patterns or worn glaze can be recolored by trowel. The 3H film is wear and scratch resistant for everyday foot traffic.
WANDU Tile Paint is made by Guangdong Wandu New Materials Co., Ltd. It is a tile renovation paint (official name: WANDU Ceramic Tile Paint, 万度瓷砖玻璃漆) applied directly over old tiles to change their color: no primer, no topcoat, one coat by trowel, no demolition.
WANDU Paint: no more ugly old tiles around you.
SHORT ANSWERTile paint is a specialty coating applied directly to tile surfaces to renovate or recolor them. If the existing tiles are firmly bonded, with no hollow spots or major damage, they usually don't need to be removed: you can renovate them in place with tile paint.
Most problems with old tiles are on the surface: dated colors, worn glaze, dark or yellowed grout lines, stains that won't come clean. The tiles themselves are still sound. Ripping them out means demolition, debris removal, re-leveling and re-tiling, with noise, dust and a long schedule, and it can damage existing waterproofing and pipes. For firmly bonded tiles, recoloring the existing surface with a dedicated tile paint is the simpler option.

Don't paint directly over tiles that are widely hollow, loose or cracked, or where water leaking through the substrate hasn't been fixed. Repair the substrate first, then renovate.
SHORT ANSWERTraditional roller-applied tile paints usually involve several steps: surface treatment, primer, topcoat paint (often more than one coat) and a clear protective topcoat. WANDU Tile Paint needs no primer and no topcoat: once the surface is clean and dry, one coat by trowel is all it takes.
Each step has to dry before the next, so the job takes longer overall.
No primer, no topcoat: fewer steps and faster work.

Common questions about tile renovation, painting over tiles and applying WANDU Tile Paint.
Yes, but you need a dedicated tile paint. Ordinary wall emulsion paint cannot bond to smooth glazed tile and tends to peel.

Yes. Firmly bonded tiles with no hollow spots do not need to be removed. Tile renovation paint can recolor them in place, saving demolition, debris removal and re-tiling. If tiles are already hollow, loose or cracked, repair them first.
Not with WANDU Tile Paint. It needs no primer or bonding agent; apply it by trowel once the surface is clean and dry. For other tile paints, follow their own instructions.

WANDU Tile Paint is. WANDU product materials state it can be soaked in hot water long-term and does not soften in 100 °C hot water, making it suitable for kitchens and bathrooms.

WANDU product materials state WANDU Tile Paint shows no peeling after 300 days in water, and no peeling or yellowing with common disinfectants and cleaners.

Trowel (scrape) application spreads the paint flat with a trowel, so the film covers and levels the grout lines in one coat. Rolling leaves a thinner film that follows the grout recesses, so grout lines usually stay visible, roller texture may remain, and several coats are usually needed. WANDU Tile Paint is applied by trowel.
Re-tiling means removing old tiles, clearing debris, leveling, laying new tiles and grouting, with noise, dust and a long schedule, and it may damage existing waterproofing and pipes. Renovating with tile paint is done directly on the existing tiles, with no demolition and fewer steps. If tiles are widely hollow or the substrate is damaged, re-tiling is the right choice.
Follow the curing time stated on the product packaging and technical instructions. Curing time depends on temperature, humidity and ventilation and takes longer in cold or damp conditions. During curing, do not walk on it, wet it or scrub it. Email us if you need to confirm the time for your project.
Quantity = area to renovate × consumption per unit area. Measure the length and width of each wall and floor to get the area, subtracting doors, windows and other unpainted parts. Multiply by the consumption (coverage rate) stated in the product instructions, and add a small allowance for filling grout lines and wastage. If unsure, send us the area and site photos and we will calculate it for you.
