Hi I need a bit of advice .

I ve got a bathroom to skim, including ceiling. The ceiling is in sound good condition but its been painted its not emulsion looks like it could be gloss to me or is it that bathroom paint that is on the market. the property is an old terrace house

if it is gloss can i just uni bond it and skim as normal ? I have give it a coat of uni bond and all but a few drop have dried / soked into to the ceiling

Overboard and skim
 
Any of the grit type bonding agents will be fine. WBA may be better for this small job as it can be bought in small tubs for around 16 quid.
 
yep - board over and skim... god knows whats stuck to the ceiling. (grease and dirt) could end up on the floor on your last trowel
