Bathroom Dimple Artex

[bobsy12]

Been removing flaking artex dimples off the ceiling in the bathroom. It turns out the I've got quite a few patches that need sorting out. I've never used artex in the past, so not sure where to start?

Do I re-artex all of the ceiling or just fill in the patches

Any recommendations?

Good plan to get it tested for asbestos before going any further.

The house is only 12 years old.

OK just playing safe
I am suprised it is flaking after such a short time, I have not had much luck in matching textured ceilings, you need to know what technique the painter used, so I will defer to the experts who hopefully will be along soon

Best getting rid of it and re-plastering. They used to use a ready mixed Artex in a tub and I haven't seen it for ages. You can't match it with the powder stuff.
