I had the same thing recently too. My original ceiling was artex so had someone skim over it. Unfortunately I caught the lip of the skim when I installed a new loft hatch/ladders and it cracked the skim.
I decided to take as much off as possible, board over it and skim it again on new boarding.
Hope your fix is as easy
