Hello, If it’s small repairs to artex ceiling you can buy something called a Artex easyfix repair kit they are easily found from local diy stores, BnQ etc. You can manipulate that filler to match the patterned artex. Wait for filler to dry. Mist coat patched up filler and finally x2 coats over all the ceiling to complete.

If you are looking for a flat smooth finish.
Scrape back the artex as much as possible, give it two coats of watered down pva then skim the next day. On the first coat of skim add 3-4 handfuls of thistle bonding, do not do for the second coat.
