I have just moved into a new home [not newly built] and the tape between ceiling and plaster board-walls is coming unstuck showing horrible cracks etc.
What is the easiest way to repair these, the ceiling is artexed.
Thanks.
 
Got a pic? Scrim tape wouldn’t normally come unstuck, as it’s buried in plaster. Might wanna check possible causes ie movement between wall and ceiling before repairing
 
Thanks for reply.
Pictures below, hope they are clear enough.

I think that’s the paper tape they use for tape and joint rather than skimming, you may be able to just stick it back down.
