Scrape off the damaged area back to sound material

Wash area with a solution of Sugar Soap to neutralise it and rinse
thoroughly.

You can buy small tubs of ready mixed Artex repair in B&Q together
with combs and sponges if you need them.

Apply the material and texture it into place.

Paint if needed.

Try sitting if you can't aim straight?
