painting over terrazzo in the bathroom
Hi guys, i am up to doing something with the bathroom in our home but don't really know where to start.
it is a 60's style bathroom and has pink terrazzo floors with black and white stone.
I definitely don't wish to keep it despite the feeling that everyone says that retro is coming back.
So that leaves working out what to do with it.
Now i also have pink wall tiles so this might get tricky.
The terrazzo curls up along the edges about 8 cm's to the tiles.
I first thought that i could tile straight over the terrazzo, but i know that the pipework underground would bug me for not replacing that first and i would have to coordinate with replacing the wall tiles at the same time to remove the curve in the terrazzo.
So that leaves me the option of paining over it.
Is it possible to paint over the terrazzo, especially given it is a wet area and will be under the abuse of a shower 3 to 4 times a day, possibly more?
I want to make it white, it needs to be easy to clean and not too slippery considering the water that will get on the ground.
Am i dreaming and the only way i am going to get rid of it properly is to gut the whole bathroom and start again (which is way out of my price range)?
cheers
Damien
