Touching up and Repairing a Cracked Drywall Ceiling

By: Mark J. Donovan

Repairing a Drywall crack in the ceiling or re-surfacing a portion of it can be done by any homeowner with little effort. First, with a small trowel scrape away any of the loose ceiling texture material around the crack or affected area.

If there are any small cracks observed, after scraping away the loose texture material, apply a thin layer of Joint Compound. A small trowel will aid in this job. Then let the Joint Compound dry. Then sand lightly.

Next, you will want to apply a Textured Ceiling mix that can be obtained at any Home Improvement store. Sometimes the mix is dry and you simply add it to a container of Ceiling paint. Normally for small jobs Home Improvement stores sell a pre-mixed paint/textured substance. Simply spread this over the affected area that you have prepared. Once this material had dried, apply a coat or two of paint that matches the rest of the ceiling and you are done.
