I had a radiator burst overnight in the en-suite and rusty water has run through the floors and down my hall walls. I'm letting it dry out before attempting to re-paint.
Though how do i get rid of the rust marks in the emulsion on the walls and architrave so it doesn't show through the new coats of emulsion when I paint it in a few days?
 
Why didn't you wipe it off? Overpaint with an oil based undercoat and then your usual finish.
