I hope it's sheds some light on it from a decorators point of view. Plasterers might view it differently. If you get 2 people in for an afternoon they can patch that pretty quickly and skim it. They probably won't want to come back and paint it but you should leave it for a few months to dry if it's plaster and you can tell the tenants that while you work out how to get it painted. A painter would be happier to come in a few months later and paint the entire ceiling. Maybe that's the best approach.

This is really incredibly helpful, thank you. I've currently got tenants in my flat and I really don't want to impose my very slow, swear-ridden and ultimately unsuccessful bodging on them! Looks like I may need to try an wrap a few more jobs into a package and see if I can find a decent handyman? I've got plasterers coming to quote but from your message it sounds like they're unlikely to be particularly interested...
Cheers
