You *can* get special paint for this - but I have always found oil-based
white undercoat to be pretty effective. Apply this to the affected area and
let it dry before applying the final emulsion paint.

The 'special' stuff is called stain block or similar; it's effective for
this job and you'll certainly find it at B&Q etc. Agree with SS that white
undercoat will probably be as good; the key is to use something oil-based.

Thanks to everyone for the additional info

I should have some oil based under coat around from a recent job and I may
well let the wife loose with it at the weekend as a first go.

cheers
