| I would use sugar soap and then undercoat but it sounds like you have already given it a big scrub! Maybe skim over it which is a bit of a faff! |

| If you put a coat of primer on before you paint it shouldn't show through (in theory)

| Not sure if you guys get a brand of primer/sealer called KILZ, but is made to cover and seal stains that otherwise cannot be removed any other way. Other than that, you can cut out the piece of gyproc/ drywall and buy another piece to replace it. xx |

| Bit late now Laura. But a good tip my dad taught me, which covers most stains, is to gloss over it first, then paint over that with whatever finish you want.
Glad you got it sorted in the end tho! x |
