The wall is one thing, but what concerns me most, and should concern you, is the floor.
One day you’re going to step out of your shower and your foot is going to go through the floor.
Or you’re going to fill the bathtub and IT’S going through the floor.
I have a feeling you let this go for too long.
You might have some major structural repairs to make which would include removing the tub.
Hard to say without looking at it.
I would take care of it as soon as possible.
Have it looked at by professionals.
Get a few bids for repairs.
See if your Homeowner’s Insurance will cover it…
it takes years of abuse to damage floor joists, depending on your flooring type, that might need changing.
remove the tiles and let the wall dry, fill the tub with water,(important).refix the tiles, masking tape the tiles and the tub and seal with silicon, run a wet finger along the silicon,
remove the tape and again run your finger along, that will seal tile edge to tub, if you have vinyl flooring you can do the same around the room. this will stop water on the floor, leave the water in the tub for 24hrs
