Question

said he is a proffessional knows what he is talking about but i beg to differ. but claims he knows everything

Answer 1

What a collection of answers.

Easy, paint first coat to walls and prime & undercoat to wood. Then do your tiling and grout off. Apply top coat.

I decorate new builds out and this is how we've done it for years. Easy and saves time. We've even fully painted and then done touch up's on the emulsion.

Answer 2

Well as in most construction jobs there are several ways to do a job. I personally have to say I agree with the know it all, at least partially. Having tiled many projects and repairing many as well. Some time will be saved and finish product will look nicer if the bullnose is applied to the finish paint product. ( works only if paint is gloss, which for bath it should be) The rest of the shower area to be tiled does not need it (Just good primer like kilz) think about it, tile glue (mastic) is only as good as what it is stuck to. If you stick it to just paper and there is moister the glue may still stick but paper will come off. Plus if not sealed the V notched trowel digs into the joint compound. Sealing it really adds years to the life of the shower. The grout edge where wall meets shower tile will save you time and look nicer, as you will wipe the grout for nice finish product, then touch up or finish the rest of the painting. Of course you can always get the drops out and mask the edge but to each is own. Have done both, but for speed and looks I like it painted. Remember work is usually best done working from top to bottom AKA from ceiling to floor. However usually the painter and tiler are different contractors thats why alot of times it does gets done different ways. GL

Answer 3

Generally you would tile first, but you could paint parts that are not directly joining to be tiled areas. It is easier ti wipe paint splashes off of tiles with some white spirit than it is to get tile adhesive and grout off of paint. I certainly would paint the ceiling first.I presume you are talking about the painting of non tiled areas. The only painting I can think of that applies to tiled areas is not painting as such but sealing of flaky plaster or similar with Unibond or something like it

Answer 4

I f you mean paint the walls before you tile the walls then it can be a good idea as you wont get any paint on the tiles as they get layed over the paint

Answer 5

If you plan to tile do that first and then you can mask off the tile to paint.

Answer 6

i would recommend this because bare plaster tends to suck the water out of the tile mix and the tiles dont bond properly so i would recommend emulsioning it once ok

Answer 7

Well if he is a professional - I wouldn't let him anywhere near my house to decorate.

Messy jobs done first - then paint -

Tile - grouting - clean tiles - paint ceiling - paint walls - paint door frames and architraves and skirting.

Answer 8

Don't paint where your tyling as the adheasive wont stick, if it's already painted you will need to score it. Unpainted Finish plaster is best to tile onto. You can paint afterwords and if you use waterbased any splashes will just wipe off!

Answer 9

You don't have to paint it, but it is a good idea to put some bonding on the wall, like feb bond or feb seal.

Answer 10

no y would you paint under tile
