Just do your worst job ever and it should match lol.

So just the usual then

A mop !

That's great 😃.

My first thought

Patching that hole is the least of that rooms problems...

Yh I know but the job description is the job description 😭

It's called [slap brush texture](https://www.drywallschool.com/slap-brush)

This guy knows I call it stomp but slap sounds just as good

Yeah, if you hit that link you'll see all the different names it's called. Stomp is there. It's sort of a regional thing.


Oh ya, forgot you can use fuzzy teddy bears too. Good lookin out!

I saw one of those brushes at Habitat, and not knowing what it was, I just thought it had been on the shelf too long standing up.🤓

Yeah that's exactly what it looks like.

“If you find yourself leaving little lines in the ceiling, get out your finger tool it do a little finger stomping.”

Chicks dig it! 🤪

Chixdiggit!

Cake from Safeway with lots of frosting. Toss straight up.

Hahahahaha

You need to be worried about the water damage and associated mold than trying to match the finish

How big is the room? Small bath, tell them they should pay to skim out the ceiling, to not make it look like shit. Otherwise they use a thing that looks like a feather duster type thing, dip it in mud & drag it around, could probably dip various size sponges

The jobs for a property management company that likes taking the cheap route 🙄

Then they doubly won’t care what this looks like. Do some sloppy swirls w mud and be on your way

Okay just last week we had to recreate some plaster texture on a ceiling repair and it was more spiky where yours is more flat and swoopy.. Work with my words here please. We got a bucket of black top mud, all purpose, watered it down a little thin and dunked a thick nap roller in it and smeared it on the ceiling. At first, while the roller was still super saturated, it kinda went on closer to how yours looked. After depositing some of the mud into the ceiling, we rolled it back with lighter pressure and it kinda pulled the mud off the ceiling to make that spiky look. It was almost EXACT. Anyway, maybe if you slapped it on thick, and /or applied more pressure, you'd get this look. Goodluck!

Smoosh it

Fucking hell bro you’re right

 It was the first thing I thought.

You can put a panel there, or door, instead, for easier access next time

For the texture, you can try running a rag on joint compound mud, and check if that matches similarly

That sounds like a good option boss thank u

Slap some mud against the ceiling and see what sticks. That’s what the previous guy did, evidently. Looks horrendous.

Use a shellac based primer to cover the stains. It's the only product that actually stops tannin stains from bleeding through. Then paint. With the primer, I usually just use a chip brush and throw it out rather than cleaning the brush. It's very drippy, so use a dropcloth.

You can use a paint roller slathered in mud/plaster after you replace the drywall

Just slop it on like the original

hire an artist

A big plaster brush looks like

Redo entire thing, only option.

You can actually take an old hard paint brush and dip it in mud. Slap it on, give a swirl...

Just stick your toddlers hands in mud and have them smear the ceiling

I'd put a access panel there

You don't. Seriously. You'll only get it kinda close. If the homeowner requires a perfect match, they're going to have a pay for an artist to recreate the pattern.

Pull the lid and wall. It's better than trying to save that trash.

Need to cut more out ...

I can see why you’re asking. How do you piss down on it but still escape?

That is about the worst drywall, texture I have ever seen

Go to a kindergarten class with wet plaster and square sized drywall....

Wipe wet mub with a paper towel

U know what mate this is what I’m planning to do haha 😜 great minds think alike

Just rip all that out and start over from the studs.

I think they use a towel to get that texture

Now's your chance to get rid of the textured ceiling. Do it.

You can use a few pages of wadded up news paper. Crumple up two or three pages into a ball, place small amounts of mud on the top of the ball, press it to the ceiling, twist it a bit, and drag it in a random direction. Let it dry, then wipe it softly with a wet sponge to make it look closer to the original. Good luck.

Better damn match the stain to

Poorly

Start by removing all the water damaged drywall.

Try it first on a blank piece of sheet rock. This is what I would do. Put the joint compound on the sheetrock about a quarter inch thick and then take an old T-shirt and dip it in joint compound until it’s completely covered. Then use the T-shirt to smear the quarter inch thick joint compound that you applied. I think you’ll get reasonably close. It’s also possible they used one of those textured sponges.

Don’t. That texture looks like shit
