If you have loose tiles, this could be a sign of a much bigger
problem. We are in the process of redoing a bath. We had loose tiles
that fell out and upon inspection found that the tiles were placed
directly onto "greenboard" (a big no no in wet areas). I had to tear
out all the drywall and use cement backer board. On the positive side,
with all this demo, we are doing some upgrades.
