Wipe the gloss with very fine sandpaper. If you don't, emulsion takes about 3 coats to cover properly.

Ta, thought that would be the case but wanted to see if it was a non starter or if there was some other treatment. Sugar soap maybe?
The issue with gloss is that it's glossy & oil based, so water based emulsion repels into blobs when painted on. Sugar soap won't make any difference to that. 3 coats on a small area is no big.

That's the stuff we bang on ceiling tiles when they get damaged by finger prints etc
