Patching A Piece Of Board Into A Ceiling ?

Hi Guys,
Ive been asked to repair some water damage in a ceiling, Ive cut bad bit out and fixed new piece of board into ceiling, before I go ahead and tape it, whats the best way to treat the surrounding paint around the repair, Its got quite a sheen to it and i know if i just leave it the finish coat will problems adhering to the paint.
Cheers Guys.
