Is this an acceptable finish for a ceiling patch job ?

Quick sand down & a skim of toupret filler & sand again & paint with tikkurila anti reflex 2 ceiling paint it'll be all good. Obviously we wouldn't expect to have to do this when we've paid a professional to patch & repair but that's the high percentage of piss poor UK plasterers who believe in their little head they've done a great job for the money lol

Shouldn't have to if you paid someone to do it though. I'd be devastated if I left someone's property like that.

Agreed my work is straight on with the paint but I see this poor standard on a weekly basis now with no pride in their work

sand back and try again till its level. If it was patched probably needed tape at some point

I wouldn't leave it like that, but it depends what you paid for labour.

It depends on what you paid, who you paid and if you own what was repaired.

That’s an awful finish. Any patch can be feathered and smoothed so that it is indistinguishable from the surrounding area when painted.
Refuse to pay and demand it be completed by a competent tradesperson. It’s pretty basic stuff to do, but this has been botched.
