Emulsion on glass, tiles, and uPVC
The common one. Most splashes lift if the surface can take a blade or a solvent.

Paint & Residue Removal
Paint and residue removal lifts emulsion splashes, plaster blobs, adhesive, and silicone smears left by decorators and fitters. It is spot removal, not a repaint, and not a promise that every mark will vanish. We cover England, Scotland, and Wales. Send photos and a postcode on the form or WhatsApp.

When this visit is the right one
Fresh emulsion wipes. Fully cured spots need a scraper on suitable surfaces. Tell us how long ago they painted. The same week is easier than six months later.
Silicone and mastic smears
Slower. A shadow can remain on porous stone or untreated timber.
Expanding foam and sticker gum
Foam is cut back and the film cleaned. It is not sanded off a painted wall.
Included, and what we will not do
What the visit covers
Included
- Spot treatment of splashes on glass, sanitaryware, frames, and hard floors
- A clear note when a mark will not come off without damaging the surface
Not this visit
- We do not repaint walls or respray frames
- We do not strip lead paint
- Porous stone, untreated timber, and some matt paint will mark if we chase a splash too hard, so we stop
- Overspray that has become the wall paint is decorating, not cleaning
How the work is done
Method
Test a small patch. Soften or lift. Wipe the residue away rather than spreading it. If the test damages the finish, that area is left and written on the note you get at the end.
What you are looking at
Raised dots on glass, a skin of paint on a tap, and grey adhesive where a protective film was pulled too late.
What changes the quote
Cost
A few panes are included in a builders clean. A whole house where every frame has been flicked with emulsion is priced as this job, because it is slow. Send photos of the worst frame and one typical one.
After the visit
Aftercare, DIY, and what makes the dust return
Aftercare
Do not attack a leftover spot with a pan scourer. If we have left a mark because removal would damage the surface, a decorator’s touch-up is the next step, not a harder cleaner.
DIY or book it
A fresh drip on glass often comes off with warm water the same day. A razor is reasonable on plain glass if there is no grit under it. On uPVC and baths, blades and scourers cut the finish. That is the DIY limit.
What fails again
Removed paint does not come back. New flecks mean the decorator returned. A dull patch that shows in sunlight can be etched silicone or a coating, which cleaning will not rebuild.
Questions about Paint & Residue Removal
Send the postcode and a few photos. We quote from the rooms and the dust. Use the form or WhatsApp.
Can you remove dried paint from uPVC?
Often, with a plastic blade and a solvent test. If the plastic marks, we stop on that frame.
Will silicone come off glass?
Smears usually do. A thick cured bead that was meant to be the seal is not scraped out. That is a reseal, which we do not do.
Do you repaint the wall afterwards?
No. If a splash is actually on the decorative paint and cannot be lifted cleanly, it needs a decorator.
Is this part of the builders clean?
Ordinary spots in the rooms we are cleaning, yes. A house-wide paint-flick job is quoted as this service so the time is honest.
