Ceiling water stain bleeding through paint — Krakow, Lesser Poland
A brown or yellow stain that keeps reappearing after painting indicates a moisture source that hasn't been resolved, or the wrong primer was used. A painter experienced with stain-blocking primers (shellac-based or encapsulating) can seal the stain permanently — but only after the leak source is fixed.
