Stain block?

[Welderpaul]

In the latest episode of the house from hell, i've fixed the leaking roof. The wall in the room below has dried out but needs repainting. Is it worth using stainblock first?

 

[eLuSiVeMiTe]

Zinser. And yes

 

[Gragson]

Zinser, bullseye? quite expensive & really good, no stains came back after very long time of wet wall applied after drying

Zinsser 123 or cover stain if its a decent size area, or some BIN will do.

Great products, never failed to do what it says on the tin.

Love using bin. Flattens beautifully for top coat

When I was making/painting kitchens I used it a lot.

I alays use it when doing painted furniture. Sticks with minimal prep and covers dark colours easily.

I always 2 part fill and sand.
Saves call backs because the decorators have done a poor job finishing.

if you mean for an emulsion painted surface then just seal the stain with gloss white then re-paint

oil based under coat if water stains on the ceiling will do the job and you prob dont have to buy expensice stuff to sort it

I do all my own spraying so never an issue, if i do plastering i try to get it up to mist coat. Once back to a job and had to scrape brush marks out to show it was the painter.

Bought this to prime our tongue and groove and the old painter reckons it’s the best primer he’d ever used and no bleed through. https://www.screwfix.com/p/zinsser-b-i-n-shellac-based-primer-sealer-2-5ltr/10130

Hate decorating so don't get involved
