Removing Primer from walls/tiles/acrylic

Tilers Forums Official Sponsors

Hi chaps,

I’m mid way through my first DIY tiling, taking 3 half tiled walls above a bath to full tile, then adding a shower.

I stripped the paint off of the plasterboard where I wanted to add tiles, then primed it using Mapei plaster primer. Unfortunately despite using masking tape to mask off the area I was priming, I have applied too liberally in some places and it has run down the tiles below and onto the acrylic bath tub. I also slightly messed up my masking tape area so I’ve primed onto paint on the wall which isn’t going to veIt’s blue in colour so it is actually quite noticeable.

Does anyone know how to remove this as everything I’ve tried so far (elbow grease, sugar soap, regular soap, bleach cleaner, white spirit) has had little to no effect.

its not an issue on the old grout as I’ve removed it so that I can grout the whole newly tiled and old tiled areas together.

Thanks in advance!
