I have a bathroom where, due to poor calking, the floor has rotted.
The floor is tile and still looks fine, but when I go in the
basement
and look at the floor above the floor is rotted completely thru and
I
can see the bottom of the tile. The amount of rot is about 5x5
inches.

What I want to do, for now, is use some filler material and fill in
the rotted wood. Then take a piece of plywood and toenail it into
the
floor joists, or use a couple of blocks to screw to the floor
joists.


Any recommendations on what to use for filler?

Fix it right or not at all. Also find out why it's rotting--it's not
likely to be just "poor caulking". Put a level on the tub and make
sure that it's set so that water drains back into the tub instead of
out onto the floor.
