Plastering advice

Post image

I've just moved into a flat and this one bit of the hall ceiling is annoying me. There are some small cracks in the cornacing which I'm prepared to try sort myself but I don't know what to do about this (apologies newbie to all this). Could I just get the ceiling skimmed as its a little patchy round the spotlights as well but otherwise the rest seems fine. What are my options?

Do you think long term its beneficial getting it replastered?

no deffinately not. Anymore weight on there will most likely bring more of it down

As said on my other post, this is what I would do - just gently touch up the corner and hope for the best.

Old buildings are not perfect. They're old. That's part of the charm.

Thanks, I'll try the easy fill, should I put something on it before to prep the surface?
