Damp meant these areas below had to be torn away. I'm not interested in a whole aesthetic job of everything matching etc, only a coverup at most and have put it in this forum section because I'm not sure whether to have it plastered over, left for now until a bigger project, or tiled etc.

Suggestions?

There seems to be quite a lot of damp there and the worst thing you could do is to cover it up.
Investigation needed! Possible drain leaks and maybe other issues.

Dont skimp. Do a proper job..

Are there prolonged consequences of not doing a proper job, other than aesthetic? It's not something I'm in a rush to do and its a very stressful time unfortunately.

Apart from the carpet where is the damp? It all seems to have dried out unless there is something the people that have come to look were missing or not telling? The leak has been solved with removing a box toilet that was faulty.

OP,
Where are you? Do you intend to answer the above responding posts?
For most of your threads you've disappeared from your own thread without any final response - how come?

Dealing with a house giving me medical issues after the death of my father and looking for some advice in multiple areas.
Are you suggesting something morally wrong with not returning to some threads if I feel a conclusion, after discussions and in others the thanks like in the limescale one?
I'm in the UK.

Thanks,
 
If there was a genuine issue with a leaking loo previously then hopefully the problem has gone now. How long ago was this?
Do check the pan connector on the loo back of course - some kitchen roll is ideal.
We sympathise with the stress and trauma you are going through, and hope you will return to the forum at your leisure.

I'm fine for some quick advice, whatever was in your last reply i skimmed through, I'm ok without. Your questioning had nothing to do with DIY and therefore became an unnecessary issue of qualifying returns to the forum.
I couldn't be more candid than I was without going into details with your question, which I think was mostly irrelevant.
If you wish to supply DIY advice on topic appreciated, if not, please move on thank you.

Thanks. Seems the issue is gone. About 7 months ago now the toilet was replaced after a long leak and being boxed off. I had a new toilet put in and all the damp areas removed.
I presume there's no real issue as long as the area remains clean, dry and ventilated and I can wait 6months+ to redo the whole thing?
