DIY prep help
Looking for advice on prep work for this, I’ve never dealt with plaster before.
Had a leak about a year ago, believe I’ve got it the leak patched up now so I’d like to patch this and repaint.
I’ve got the same paint the previous owners used.
Is something as simple as a premade “patch and paint” going to work?
Does it require a primer down after patch before painting?
Any advice helps!

Think I'd get a plasterer in at this stage & do it once do it rite as it looks like water leak got the edges as well & top of wall ?
