At Australian Painting & Deck Staining, we specialise in transforming tired interiors into modern, elegant spaces using innovative products and proven professional techniques.
This recent project involved refreshing an outdated tiled hallway and bathroom area — achieving a sleek, durable, and easy-to-maintain finish without replacing a single tile.
The goal: to modernise the look, protect the surface, and show how paint can completely revitalise old flooring.
Challenge
The client’s hallway and bathroom featured dated brown-toned ceramic tiles that had lost their shine and were difficult to maintain. Re-tiling would have been costly and time-consuming.
The challenge was to:
Provide a cost-effective solution that still looked professional
Ensure durability in high-traffic, moisture-exposed areas
Deliver a modern colour update that complements the home’s neutral tones
Our Approach
Preparation was key. Before painting, we:
Deep-cleaned the tiles using a high-power vacuum to remove dust, debris, and residue
Lightly sanded and primed the surface for maximum adhesion
Applied Dulux Renovation Range Floor Paint — specially designed for tile and laminate surfaces
Used high-precision brushes and rollers from AustralianPDS.com.au to achieve a flawless, non-slip finish
Every corner was detailed carefully to maintain crisp edges and a uniform look across the entire floor.
Paint Selection & Colour Scheme
The transformation came to life with Dulux Renovation Range in Charcoal Grey, replacing the outdated yellow-brown tones with a cool, modern aesthetic.
This finish instantly brightened the space and paired beautifully with the freshly painted trims and doors, giving the entire hallway a new, cohesive character.
💡 Pro Tip: Tile paint is an excellent alternative for bathrooms and kitchens when you want a modern look without expensive renovations.
Results
The results were immediate and striking:
Before: Aged, stained tiles that dulled the interior look
After: Smooth, contemporary grey flooring with a semi-matte finish that’s easy to clean and built to last
The new paint provided a durable surface, resistant to wear, moisture, and cleaning chemicals — extending the life of the original tiles by years.
