Totally worth it if you do the prep. Some tips:
I was skeptical of this product, but WOW. It worked really well on my tile surround - about the best $75 I have spent on a DIY project. A couple of notes. Does it look exactly like tile? No. Does it look awesome? Yes. 1) Do all the prep. All of it. This has been incredibly durable, but I think that's because was meticulous in prep. Along with the more detailed reviews here, I followed this blogpost: http://www.domesticimperfection.com/2013/11/how-to-refinish-outdated-tile/ 2) Tape meticulously. This stuff is runny, so it will find a way under tape. If it dries on something its not supposed to, you can scrape it off with razor blade, but you risk damaging the underlying material. 3) Wear a ventilator mask, not just a dustmask. Oh my god the fumes -- even wearing mine. I got a little dizzy. The fumes seeped throughout the house and into my clothes. Once it was cured, the smell went away. I have this mask, which is just generally awesome: http://www.amazon.com/3M-Paint-Project-Respirator-Medium/dp/B00004Z4EB 4) You need a million foam rollers. I could cover about 30sq feet before the roller started to melt. As soon as it starts to melt at all, get a new one. 5) Work fast. Once on the wall it gets tacky quickly and drips if you overload, so its easy to get a bad finish. Get everything ready, and then blast through a coat. 6) Caulk can cover a lot of edging sins. This project took less than a day. I would NOT recommend this product if your tile is in bad shape. Mine is only 2 years old and the grout was nearly perfect, so I was only covering ugly and not damage. One can covered about 75 sq ft.
