Depends on the construction of the ceiling but best case scenario is: as long as it was a one off and all is allowed to dry out properly (perhaps remove downlights so air can flow into the cavity) you should get away with perhaps just a light sand and then repaint/touchup of the ceiling.

Had something similar happen but the other way round. I regrouted my bath and missed a wee bit. It was enough for water from the shower to run through to downstairs. Have patched up grout and no issues so far... touch wood... could be a similar situation? Hold on, you don't live in The Driftway do ya?

Absolutely get the neighbours down to see it, and then insist that it gets investigated. Also hope they aren't renting as landlords can be a pain in the arse.

mrs_com rang to say there was water coming through the bathroom light fittings for a few minutes and then stopped. No quite diagnosed the issue yet as she is still to knock on the uostairs neighbours' door. I reckon they've overfilled the bath.
So far I only have that account and the attached photo to go on.
Is this kind of thing a definite rip out and redo or is it likely to dry out OK? Concerned about the plaster and the electrics.
Those are the only two spot lights.
