Merry Chrimbo Tilers!
We just bought an arts and craft house built in 1922 and the house has original terracotta tiles in the bathroom which have been painted in parts. I’d like to remove the gloss paint and then protect the tiles from water damage as they are in the bathroom.
I’ve read lots of forums but still a little confused around which products I should use as I obviously don’t want to ruin the tiles.
1) which paint remover is best for porous tiles?
2) should I use a sealer? I read that terracotta needs to breath?
3) if so which type of sealer should I use?
Have attached some pics, thanks I’m advance for your help!!
