I have recently removed all the dodgy colour tiles from the walls in my bathroom. I then set about the walls with a steamer to remove all of the tile ashesive!

This has left me with bare plaster walls with a slight sheen to them that look like they have just been plastered!

I was wondering if you had to have tiles around the bath and sink top or if you could just paint the walls with bathroom paint right up to the bath

Any advice appreciated!

I have no tiles behind my cooker or sink in my kitchen, just eggshell paint.

I suppose it makes no difference in a bathroom really as long as the tops of the bath and basin are sealed so as not to let any moisture in.

I have seen no end of houses with just one course of tiles round bath and basin, and thinking about it as I type this, it does throw any moisture away from the wall where they touch.

The more I think about it, I would go for tiles.
