Hello, My bathroom has damp plasterboard on one wall which doesn't want to dry out.
There is a storage room next to the bathroom, and the wall facing the bathroom also has damp plasterboard, which won't dry.
Would it be best to replace the damp board? Which I am tempted to do, or could i get away with applying some kind of damp proofing liquid to the walls.
Presumably, the plasterboard would be fixed on both sides to a timber frame?
Many thanks.

Damp plasterboard
If its not drying it means the source of the water is still there, fix that and it will dry.

Must be a source of water there. maybe one of those CH pipes is leaking ? Check when cold.
