    I got the kitched plasterded rescenlty and it looks well, I allpied the first coat of paint and then realised that one section of the wall has bumps and ripples on it in one section only.

    How do i go about repairing this, sand it down and repaint.

    Will sanding take the bumps out as they are quite big

    Yeah but you'll probably want a power sander to get bumps out if it's that bad. When you repaint you may have problems with edges of the previous coat lifting, where the sander has done it's thing, so bear that in mind.

    Or get the plasterer back? Shouldn't be any bumps and ripples with a craftsman.

    There shouldn't...but it happens...and usually it's not until the plaster gets some paint on it that it becomes apparant. If it's only in one area like the OP said, then it could be just a patch that slumped due to a dip in the plasterboard/scratchcoat.
    Whilst I'd agree with getting back the guy if it was all over the place, for something that the OP can remedy themselves in 5 minutes, it's probably not worth the hassle for iether of them...
