The best way for you’re bathroom it’s to do again new grout to be same level with the tile

Steve · Answer

Personally I would take tiles off and then have the walls replastered, filling the grout lines with filler then sanding down will always show through the wallpaper. For a great finish to the wall paper you need it plastered

Michael · Answer

You may be better of having pvc aqua panels fitted over the tiles. This depends on how level the walls/tiles are. A suitable builder should be able to price this up.

You can make new grout!  Or fill the gaps between the tiles with silicone!

A levelling compound can be used to smooth out irregularities holes and gaps between existing tiles and provide a flat and level surface for tiling.

f you want to apply vinyl wallpaper over ceramic tiles with uneven surfaces due to dips between the tiles, it's important to create a smooth and level base for the wallpaper. Here's a step-by-step guide on how to fill the gaps and prepare the surface:

Clean the Tiles:

Start by cleaning the ceramic tiles thoroughly to remove any dirt, grease, or soap residue. Use a suitable tile cleaner and ensure the surface is completely dry before proceeding.
Fill the Gaps:

Use a high-quality, flexible filler suitable for bathroom use to fill the gaps between the tiles. Ensure the filler is designed for use in wet areas. Apply the filler with a putty knife, pressing it into the gaps and smoothing the surface. Follow the product's instructions for drying times.
Sand the Filled Areas:

Once the filler is completely dry, use fine-grit sandpaper to smooth the filled areas. This will create a more even surface and help the wallpaper adhere better.
Prime the Surface:

Apply a primer to the entire tiled surface. A primer helps create a uniform surface and improves the adhesion of the wallpaper. Make sure to choose a primer suitable for both ceramic tiles and the type of wallpaper you plan to use.
