We have a couple of large water marks on the kithcen ceiling as a result of some poor sealing between the bath waste pipe and the outside downpipe. The damage occured soon after we moved into the house and just after having the ceiling skimmed (to cover up the mess from removing al the lovely polystyrene tiles that were removed)
While this was actually a few years ago we've only just got around to painting the kitchen ceiling.
The ceiling has now had a couple of coats of emulsion but there are still a couple of areas where the water marks shine through.
Does anyone have any recommendations for dealing with this and getting the emulsion to effectively cover the damaged area?
regards
David
