How do you get gloss paint off a whole bathroom of wall tiles?

My bathroom is covered with gloss paint on the wall tiles, I have tried a heat gun and a scrapper and nitromorse and nothing will touch it. Can anyine help please.How do you get gloss paint off a whole bathroom of wall tiles?
Use paint stripper. You just brush this stuff on nice and thick, give it 20 minutes or so to lift the paint, then scrape off with a plastic scraper (so you won't scratch the tiles). Repeat the process on stubborn areas. Then give the tiles a final rinse.


I've used this stuff on multi-coated car parts and it works great.


They make a citrus (orange scented) formula, if you're concerned about strong odors.


Here's a link.

the only other thing i can think of is neat bleach left on for a few hours it may soften it enough to scrape off.


but if not then you will either have to re tile or repaint them.
It's probably not paint, it might be in the tile. Did you try paint remover or paint thinner? You could just pop them off and replace them yourself.
It won't hurt either way, you have to sand it all down and paint with a mildew resistant non gloss paint.
Have you try ed paint stripper,it might be expensive and a bit messy.
