I want to move a light fitting. Once I have, I need to repair the
ceiling where it was.

We don't have any spare 'ripple & I surely don't want to buy a huge
tub of the damn stuff. No, I'm not going to skim the ceiling - I
simply won't move the light if that's the only option.

There was a thread about patch-repairing Artex(?) here about a fortnight
ago if you can find it.

'ripple's much less textured than Artex. It's more like thick paint.

Yes, but if you're careful with the Artex and apply it sparingly you
can achieve the same effect.
