Insulated Dot and dab hole

Hi,

I'm in the process of removing and preparing to renew my ensuite. Planning to fully tile walls, but have removed the previous 'wet wall' boards to find a large hole has been created prior to their installation in order to move rad pipes. I dont know the easiest way to fill this in order to make it good for tiling, without cutting out a larger section and dot and dabbing new plasterboard on? Is there an easier way? Expanding foam? Don't really want to have to buy a full insulated board and pack of adhesive for just that, and d&d is sonething i havent tried before. Have included a pic to show what I mean.

Thanks for any help in advance.

what are you goin to do about the pipes?
what are you goin to do to the rough lookingsurface of the plaster board ?
are you going to tank or backer board the wet walls?
you can pack out the opening an then pin a piece of ordinary board through the packings. use off cuts of board or sand an cement for packing out.
