Cieling Repair Assistance

[leevis]

Hi All
Need some help.
My cieling is looking a bit rough and has many holes where the Artex has been chippped out and such like.
Whats the best and easiest way to repair/hide this?
I was thinking of using filling it and then papering over the whole thing because i suspect that whatever i do to repair it, it will be noticable.
Or is there something on the market now that I can roll over the whole ceiling and will fill/repair/hide as i go? Not too sure what is out there these days.

Agree totally. I am the very essence of non-violence, but If I ever meet the person who invented Artex I shall find it extremely hard not to smack them.

Although reboarding and replastering is the ultimate solution, this is not going to be possible. I think i will try and fill these holes the best i can and then put some of that wall doctor ceiling paper and repaper over the mess. Its not nasty artex ie the raised stuff, its kind of been put on as a plaster.
