Ceiling – Craters by screws where ceiling plaster has broken

ceiling

I have some craters around screws in the ceiling. The screws themselves are not lose, so I am just wondering if filler will fix this issue. If I remove the flakes around the craters and add filler, specifically this one; https://www.screwfix.com/p/ronseal-big-hole-ready-mixed-wall-filler-grey-1-2ltr/95289

Will it do the trick?

Thank you very much!

You’re quite correct, a basic filler and sanded smooth once dry will work absolutely fine. There is no underline problem, the plaster has slightly different colours because it’s probably been skimmed at sometime. This is a very common issue with a quick fix. Good luck!
