dri-coat is the alternative to sand/cement render, it's a bagged form from gypsum. replaced the old stuff, renovating coat/finish. not that any of this matter now, because OP has stated that now it's going to just be shelving space. so, you have the option like said, hardwall wet plaster...

If we're going to quote exact products to be use for the job. If you opt for the wet plaster route, make sure you use dri-coat, being cement based, it's more suited to wet areas. Again, this is of the highest standard of product for the job, but, how many people use it for patching a room...

Get's used on site for bathroom space. Never once been on site and used aqua boards. Heck, my bathroom, is just plasterboard. Once tiled it's waterproof.

But when someone can't plaster, it's more cost effective to do the labour themselves in the form of tape 'n' joint. But, find a plasterer to work for cash, £150 later (less if you can get mates rates) and you'll have a room finished for painting. :)

Thoughts seconded. I can't think of any reason not to use boards to replace a ceiling. Customer had too much money? :/

moisture resistant board is adequate for bathroom spaces. (the green ones) Never seen them wet plaster quides. they're quite clever if you can't wet plaster, but want to!

if you're planning on stripping the whole wall back. me personally would recommend "dot and dabbing" some boards onto the wall. gives you a "blank", flat canvas to start again on. depending on how big the wall is, could work out cheaper too. bags of bonding coat aren't cheap.
