    Epoxy Resin over shower floor tile
    My shower floor is small tile, old, and terribly stained grout, but not leaking. Can I pour a layer of tinted epoxy resin over the tile to give it a clean new look? I have read where I can use an epoxy resin paint to recolor the grout lines, but I would like to cover the entire floor. Is this possible?
    Thank you,

    Yes you can try a 2 part resin . Rust-oleum and others make paint for showers and tubs. Youi must really clean the shower pan first so the paint will stick. Spray with fumefree oven cleaner, scrub and rinse while using ribber gloves. After cleaning with oven cleaner you mat like what you see and decide not to paint.

    I have a tile floor in our shower that when built the drain is higher than the floor. Every shower I need to "bail" out the floor up to the drain with a squeege. Any suggestion?

    Hi Jim

    You may want to consider installing another layer of tile over the old tiles and then grouting... should resolve your issue!
