I have a bathroom in the house that has some paint peeling. (Insert bathroom joke here). Its a few small spots, but it is both the paint and texture. Is using some texture in a can to fix the small spots, and then repainting the whole bathroom acceptable? Or do I need to do more?
Its what is acceptable to SHMBO. 
If you can match the texture locally it will be fine. That is usually the challenge.
To prevent further peeling, try scraping back what's there to get the loose stuff off then put a coat of a bonding primer on. (Ie, Kilz Adhesion.) We had paint peeling off in sheets in our garage when we bought the place, and the painter did that and we haven't had a single peel since, in four years.
First find out why it's peeling, moisture? You mention texture, like a popcorn ceiling?
My front living room has square tiles on the ceiling, pressed cardboard from the 1950s. I replaced it with plastic tiles, also did it on my side porch where moisture hangs out, no more stained ceiling.
In reply to 914Driver :
Bathroom, 4 kids, yes plenty of moisture. The texture is just wall texture behind the paint.
I think I scrape and texture a spot to see how it looks.
Put down some BIN paint for primer.
I usually have the texture in a can stuff because it doesnt always work but i think its best for this situation
