Help with plasterboard gap

Hi all,

I'm looking for some beginners advice on fixing the plasterboard. We had a leak by the door which has now been fixed. I've fixed plaster before but not the board and I'm wondering how you'd go about rectifying? The plasterboard is straight onto brick. Would you cut out the entire section of plasterboard or would it suffice just adding a section where the widest gap is?

That isn't plasterboard. It's existing backing plaster . More than likely lime sand mortor. Buy a bag of bonding or hardwall and splodge that in it

Thanks! How would you finish it next to the door? Let the plaster touch the pvc or add a strip of wood in?

Shouldn't use bonding there.

I did that once. Turned out the window fitter hadn't quite got the leak. When I came back, the whole reveal came back off in one piece.
