I have a ceiling in my living room that is that popcorn texture and it is peeling. I tried to fix one area where it was peeling, by paint it but I made it worse. Now other areas are peeling.
how can I fix the whole ceiling?
Thanks

Popcorn Ceiling Makeover- Low Budget, Big Impact
Using a pump-up garden sprayer, moisten the entire ceiling (one 4 foot square section at a time) with water, let it set a few minutes, then scrape it off using a 4 inch putty knife. Buy some cheap disposable drop clothes for this, it's messy, but works well. might need to wipe each section off with a damp towel, then after it dries, paint it. Good luck!
get a plasterer to scrape and re plaster the lot eric
