There are many products belonging to the primer / sealer category available at your local paint centre or DIY store. They are problem-solvers and are designed to do exactly what they say – to prime surfaces before painting them and to seal surfaces which may be damp or otherwise unsuitable for painting. Damp, chalky and flaky surfaces cannot be painted directly – they need a base coat – and that is what primer / sealers do very effectively. Some are water-based and some are oil-based differing only in their thickness, capacity to obliterate and clean-up procedures.

Zinsser Bulls Eye 1-2-3 is a top-quality water-based primer/sealer
that may be used both indoors & outdoors |

You must cure the cause of any penetrating damp first otherwise all a primer / sealer can do is mask the problem for some time. Eventually the problem will recur if the root cause isn’t found and fixed. |
Painting over ceramic tiles?

Apply Bulls Eye 1-2-3 evenly over the surface of each tile and then paint with either eggshell or gloss paint in a colour of your choice! Its high adhesion properties make sure it sticks to any surface without sanding and provides a super base for the finish coats.
