Hi

Sorry if this is the wrong place wasnt really very sure where to post it?

I have recently decorated my house but have spilled tile paint on my bath and it wont shift with white spirit or a good old fashioned scouring pad. Has anyone any ideas how i can get the paint off??

Get yourself a window scraper.

Leave the cover on so you don't scratch the bath.

What type of paint? emulsion or gloss?

I found this advice from someone else who had the same problem -

Tile paint isn't emulsion (water based) so you can't remove with soapy water. First try methylated spirits, dab on leave to softern rub with a dry cloth and re-apply if necessary. Wear rubber gloves to protect your hands. This will work easily if the paint is fresh /24 hours or so.
If this doesn't work move on to try nitromors - use a small (cheap) brush to apply, leave for the amount of time recommended on the tin and rub off with fine wire wool. Be careful you don't want to mark the bath try on a small area to test first.
Otherwise use a window scraper (the razor blade type) and gently remove trying to avoid scratching the surface
