crack in ceiling

[pondsweeper]

I have a thin crack running right through my living room which has been artexed and it makes it quite difficult to just plaster it without it looking noticeable.How can I get round this.

You could try mixing a little powdered polyfilla in with some white emulsion (if that's what the ceiling is painted with?) and apply with a brush, stippling as you go.

I've managed to make good in this manner before after removing an old unwanted ceiling switch.

Good luck

I had the same problem and used polycell crack free ceilings paint on it. No cracks at all have come back.

Depending on the size it may help if you fill with decorators caulk first.

This paint only comes in white but is overpaintable.
