    The Pink Stuff paste is very good at getting rid of paint spots - I've used on a fridge and laminate floor - just don't rub too hard.

    How about a scouring pad, the ones that are a sponge one side and a green scouring pad on the other? It may be too harsh so start very gently. Or if you have strong nails you could try scraping it with your nail.

    Visit your local fireplace centre to buy polish and seek their advice. I think they will suggest a quick clean with wire wool and then when the paint is removed another going over with polish and wire wool.

    Don’t forget to wear protective equipment and vacuum thoroughly afterwards

    i tried the pink paste - it got some of the paint off but took some of the polish with it. So I'm going to follow your advice Jonathan and ask at my local fireplace shop! thanks all
