Make sure the water mark is old, not a new one showing up - paint with Kilz primer - spackle lightly over it, a thin skim coat, paint with Kilz again, the paint with the top coat.

Get a bucket of primer paint, paint the whole ceiling with it then go over the water stain a couple of times with primer...primer paint works best because it can coat very dark paint colors....your other paints will not work as well and you have to keep painting over the area.

The best way of treating this problem is to apply a coat of shellac knotting to the stain. Do not apply an oil based product directly over the stain as there could be some mineral salts held within the stain, and this would cause saponification of the oils within the paint.
Once dry, apply a coat of oil based undercoat, and the two coats of your finish colour.

It could be the salts from the water that originally caused the stain.
You may have sorted out the leak but you may have to replace the section of the ceiling to be rid of the stain.
Try an oil based paint first, it may work.

Have you discovered what caused it and have you remedied it? If so, paint it with a solution of wall paper paste [called sizel] this will seal it and prevent it showing, hopefully. Then paint over when dry.

have you tried any of that textured paint? a friend of mine lived in a old cottage and she had to do her lounge in textured paint as it was so damp and wallpaper and paint kept peeling off. there are different types out there, some look really smooth, if it is just a roof, you shouldn't need too much so it won't be too expensive

Go to Home Depot and get a product called "Kilz". It is a sealer. It will seal the stain and it shouldn't come back.
