Scrape off what he has done, weak pva the area, put a few screws in joists if you can. Use fibafuse with filler (easifill 20), let it set then coat it again feather out but dont need to get it smack on let customer sand it back next day. You can do the same with paper tape.

It's a thin fibre tape which allows plaster/filler to pass through eliminating blisters and bubbling. Similar principle to my Beadfix tape.

You put a question mark in the middle of a statement. You are in the wrong often but you know it and enjoy the attention.
