What to repaint wall around window frame with?

Hi all,
I had my bathroom window re-sealed and the contractor scraped away the paint (for some reason!) to seal around the window. Please can anyone advise what I should repaint the wall with? The plaster isn’t new but has obviously been exposed so would I need to seal it with a mist coat before painting that area?
More than likely having a new window fitted shortly so I possibly won’t re-paint before then and the new windows have a PVC plastic box type frame on the inside so not sure whether to paint it now in case it gets covered.
Many thanks!

The inside of the frame (plaster) is exposed like this all the way round

yes, I'd normally use a slightly watered down emulsion as a mist coat for the first coat.0
