*FLOODED BATH, CEILING ABOUT TO COLLAPSE*

Assuming the plaster doesn't collapse.... when you come to repaint the ceiling make sure it is fully dry then apply a solvent based stain block first. Otherwise you'll end up with water stains coming through no matter how many coats of emulsion you put on.
Doesn't fully update for an hour only adds on how many posts plus OP (iirc)

Sounds to me like your whole house is going to fall down and there's nothing you can do about it. Sorry.

Fire is a natural enemy of water... or in other more forum applicable words "kill it with fire" 
Christ on a cross can't some of you people even wipe your arses without asking GD? 
Hint: When it comes to the list of "things to do when your bathroom is flooded and you think that your ceiling is going to collapse", posting on OcUK ranks really really low.

The very first thing you should do is format your hard drive.
Seriously, get some sheets down and anything that will catch water and put some holes in your ceiling.
Chances are your ceiling is wrecked so minimise what other damage it will cause.
Get up whatever floorboards you can to try and dry whatever you can.
Earlier this year we were lucky but it still took a week to dry out the carpets on the lower floor.
Luckily the burst pipe was right by the wall and seeped down the inside of the wall.

You need a bit off vanilla in there, regardless of what flavour you go for. It's like salt when making cakes.Preheat your oven to 170c

If you didn't know what the hell to do, it isn't that much of a bad idea...
