replacing plaster ceiling bathroom
Depends on the reason for wanting to replace the old ceiling.
If you have damage to it...or significant mold...then yes, rip it out and put up new.
If you have cracks....then just screw new drywall up there.
Now...with that said, I need to point out something.
The 'normal' way ceiling drywall is done, the ceiling goes up first and then the sides. That way, the side drywall is butted up against the ceiling and is holding the corners up tight. In most cases, there is not trim studs in the ceiling to screw into...just the studs.
When you hand ceiling afterwards, you don't really have any edge support between studs. In small areas using 5/8" drywall...not really an issue.
In your case, either way you go, your going to have unsupported edges....hopefully some of the expertes will chim in on the best methods.
