Can you use a mold resistant paint on tile in a shower? I used it on the ceiling and it works, but the floor and bottom of the shower walls which are tile have a mold problem. There is no fan in this bathroom and the shower stays damp.

Preventing mold
Step 1
After every shower wipe down with a squeegee or old towel
Step 2
Train every member of the family to do this
Step 3
If you have a curtain keep it partially open. If you have shower doors keep both sides partially open. This will keep air circulating.
Step 4
If you have a window, keep it open while you are showering, if possible. If not, open it to let as much moisture as possible.
We use white vinegar and a squeegee to fight ours-- works like a charm

I am having this issue as well. I use some old towels and make sure no moisture or water is left after the shower to prevent molding.
Sounds like you have tile for your shower, you can seal the tile's grout lines with a grout sealer to waterproof them. This will need to be applied yearly.
