watermarks

[mymickeysbetterthanyours]

We had a leak last year which is all sorted and repaired but has left water marks in the corner of the room. I can't remember the colour of paint I used. Am I going to have to repaint the whole room? Is there any other tips for getting rid of them?

You need to use a stain block to stop the water mark coming through onto the new paint. Then you paint over. Unfortunately, if your room hasn't been painted for a while, this probably mean redecorating the whole place, sorry.

You can use gloss paint instead of stainblock

Thanks both - looks like I'd better stock up on paint
