Removing the old cornice should not damage your plaster ceiling much as cornice's are separate pieces to the actual plaster ceiling.

In order to remove and make good your room, you will need to:

a. remove cornice
b. patch holes in plaster ceiling from where cornice was removed.
c. Repaint plaster ceiling
d. Repaint walls in the entire room.

Depending on the size of the room, you could be looking at spending anywhere between RM3k onwards. This is an estimation only yar.
