    Chances are you'll need to skim the ceiling to get an even finish if you have many discs filling holes, or cover with textured finish.

    It is possible to get an even finish after filling with a powder filler such as Easifill. You can't see the holes in my walls where I filled them. Use a metal edge such as a spirit level to smooth the filler level with the ceiling, it saves lots of sanding. You might need two coats as it shrinks. Up to 6" is doable, bigger holes are hard, and a plasterer may be needed.
