any tips for filling holes where plaster has come off screw

[rizred]

Hiya,
I had some wall plate work done last year and all the banging caused plaster to pop off the vaulted ceiling inside where the screw heads are.

(the sentence doenst make sense, does it?! try again!)

I have a vaulted ceiling which wasnt plastered, just plasterboard screwed up and the screw heads/ joints taped up/ filled and painted. I then had to have some work done on the wall plates and all the hammer banging caused the filler to pop off from a lot of the screwheads.

I'm sure it's a simple case of just filling the holes, but i thought i'd ask on here in case anyone has any tips/ advice.

Thanks in advance

yes,but if you can try and tighten up the screws.

That will give you extra depth for the filler to cover the screwheads Riz.

Yep tighten screws, might be worth popping a few more in, to secure board. Then spot fill them with easifill or something similar. light sand down job done.
