    Nope, have stubbed my toe doing that.

    To OP, danger from suspected artex ceilings is vastly over blown
    When challenged on this site , I reply tell me how many casual diy'ers have had problems...........never had a reply.

    How to repair, well without a little bit more info impossible to say.
    A picture would be nice.
