Default Tiles fell off in shower

In our basement shower, several tiles fell off. Behind them is
drywall. The tiles are not broken and I would prefer to just glue them
back in if possible. What glue and process would you recommend.

Thanks!


Nobody else said it, so I will- OP should also look at prefab shower
enclosures and/or solid surface or faux marble panels, as an alternative to
tile. No, not the thin flimsy ones installed as bandaids over rotted walls,
the real thick ones designed for retrofits. Still need to do demo to make
sure the walls are dry inside, and install whatever is called for behind to
support the panels, but it could all be done and usable in one day. Yes, a
quality tile job is prettier, but this is a basement shower, and one-piece
walls will be more durable and easy to keep clean. And they are a lot easier
for a non-expert to install than tile. Measure twice, cut once, etc.
