Has anyone had experience with water damage to ceiling plasterboard?

For context; our boiler in the loft leaked twice over a 4 month period. Coming back from a weekend away we noticed that the ceiling in one corner has a big crack and looks like it's sagging. I assume the residual water plus heat from a warm weekend with no windows open has fucked it.

Is this an expensive job that I need to put through insurance?

Yeah it's not a massive job. Had a similar thing happen in our previous flat.

Have you fixed the boiler so it won't leak again once you've repaired the damage?

@Señor_Bear - cheers! That's exactly what I wanted to know.

Yes. Well I hope so. It was dealt with under our "home emergency". Best £35 I've ever spent. Ended up having a few other things wrong including a CO leak.
