1 ceiling: "Ceiling" is the right answer. The "ceiling" of a room is opposite the floor, and it is where the light can usually be found, along with some dust. This is the part of Icarus' bathroom which has suffered some bad damage. Another example: "Please give me the ladder so I can stick this poster on the ceiling".
2 home improvements: "Home improvements" is the best answer here. This term includes activities such as re-decorating a room, knocking down a wall to make a bigger room, or fitting a new shower unit. It is Mr. Sackofshitz's "home improvements" which caused so much damage to Icarus' bathroom. Another example: "My father enjoys making home improvements on Sundays".
3 plaster: "Plaster" is the term we were looking for. It is a mixture of lime or gypsum, sand, and water used to cover walls and ceilings when we build a house. This white product is applied as a wet paste, and then dries to form a solid surface. Note that there is a related verb "to plaster". Example: "I'm going to plaster the bathroom tonight. I'm so excited!".
