I believe Zinsser Cover Stain is the recommended base coat.

I have and still do recommend it. Just on the patch and a little area around. Sometimes you can feather it into the existing ceiling, it just depends on lighting and how white the ceiling is. Otherwise you then go over the whole ceiling with emulsion.
If you want to do the job really well you wash it with sugar soap first, I use a squeegee mop for that.

We had the same problem, looked like wee stains on our ceiling. Used this stuff and then painted over it. Works a charm.

My ceiling has a damp patch where there was a leak a few years ago. The leak was sorted then but I've never got round to covering up the damp patch. What's the quickest/easiest way to cover a 2ftx3ft patch. The room was painted about 10 years ago (white) so I guess I may need to repaint the whole ceiling.
What's the easiest way of doing this without having to spend ages covering stuff up? A big brush maybe? I'm not too worried about long-term, it's mainly just for viewings/surveyor.
Cheers
