The following tips are ideal for student accommodation and will allow you to renovate your tiles without breaking everything and without budgeting.

Resin

The very first solution available to you is resin. In the trade, you can find different brands of epoxy resin. These products are perfect for restoring shine to your tiles. They allow you to benefit from a plain surface, without joints and without demarcation and they also allow you to choose between different colors thanks to the pigments added in their composition. With resin, you don't need to apply an undercoat. In addition, your worktop will become waterproof, waterproof and easy to maintain. However, be aware that the resin cannot withstand high temperatures. It deforms when it comes into contact with too intense heat.

Waxed concrete

Besides the resin, waxed concrete is also a better alternative to redo your tiled worktop at a lower cost. This solution guarantees a very aesthetic finish and it is very easy to apply on a flat surface. To do this, start by applying an adhesion primer to promote adhesion. Next, apply three coats of plaster to strengthen the strength of your tiled countertop. The next step is to mix it up by following the directions on the product label. Next, you should spread two fairly thin layers of about 1 mm thick each and you should wait until the plaster is completely dry before sanding everything with a fine grain. Finally, you must apply a protective product to your waxed concrete.

The painting

To redo your tiled worktop at a lower cost, you can also bet on painting. It is true that this solution can give you a more fragile result than resin and waxed concrete, but it can help you give your countertop a makeover. It gives you the opportunity to choose the color and finish of your worktop to those of your other furniture and equipment. It allows you to sport a style of decoration worthy of student accommodation. In addition, it is very easy to perform.
