I'm just overhauling the old utility room in our house, and this has
the only non artex'd ceiling in the house. It looks like flat
plaster. But it is not very smooth, with various dips and bumps in
it.
I was going to try the Polycell Smoothwall stuff, but reading bits n
bobs here it looks like the stuff is not good on walls, let alone on
the ceiling!

I don't want to get a plasterer in just for this little room, in which
case what are my alternatives?
Artex? (yuk)
DIY plastering? (no prior experience!)
Filling and sanding (laborious?)
