Leak from ceiling

Posted by Mischa Gill, on
Need repair for damp area in ceiling (20cm diameter circle) caused by leak from flat above. What sort of work does this require from my side, after the plumbing has been resolved from upstairs. (ie. Repair/plaster/painting). And is the damage quite superficial.
