Tile color change

Question from Ron

We have granite tile around the fireplace, would like to change the color - is there a way to cover it, either by painting or gluing another tile on top?


Jake's Answer: 

Ron,

We have never painted granite tile.  I would be reluctant to paint granite, especially around the fireplace. We have installed tile over tile.  Sand the existing tile and install tile like you normally would.  If the existing granite is in good shape and firmly set, you should have a nice finished product.

That was a very helpful answer. I was looking to change the color around my fireplace as well.
