    Hi
    I wanted some advice as I believe if I paint over it without treating the stain it will come through. Is that correct I wonder? Unfortunately I didn't use a solution to remove it at the time as I didn't know you could use vinegar & warm water.
    Will I be able to just paint over these egg stains?
    Many thanks

    You will have to wash the egg off with hot soapy water, then paint it.

    Treating them is not enough.

    Is it brick/concrete/pebbledash?
