    Quickest and cheapest way would be to replace I'd say, only a couple of boards and some drywall adhesive. ( I'm assuming it's dot and dabbed plasterboard not a stud wall)

    As above, if you cant replace the boards or get over it whilst tiling then I would use a rapid setting cement to sort it
