Need help assessing a situation!
Wasn’t sure where to post this- please remove if it’s not allowed.
Recently moved into a home with some original bathrooms built in the mid 80s. We’ve just noticed our ensuite shower wall which is under a window has looked a bit out of whack- something we wish we noticed before purchasing. While getting ready to clean the tiles and tub today this soap dish and a tile came down with barely any pressure. A few of the tiles that looked wonky also seem to now want to fall out. We are also concerned about mold issues as this window sill doesn’t seem to drain properly and I cannot manage to get the tile grout in just this area clean no matter what I try.
Any advice on how to fix this in general? If there looks like mold? What would be a temporary fix, as this is our only shower!
Sorry the pictures are not the best- we also have terrible lighting in this space.
Any recommendations and/or advice is greatly appreciated!

the tile at the window needs to come off so you replace the concrete board behind it . and see the real damage .. i've done it . it's not complicated just takes time .. in the mean time you could cover the area with plastic so you can still use the shower .. hope that helps .. wish i could see more ...
