Default Cheap sloping bathroom floor ?

The mould comes from a leaky tap and bath spillages.
When the floor is sloping and waterproof I will replace the plasterboard.

There's mould on the kitchen ceiling under the bath!
I'm thinking of pulling up the floorboards,
putting down 18mm OSB3 sloped to a point
with some kind of drain.
Then covering it with Lino or similar.
Much cheaper and quicker than a wetroom kit like

Advice please

why would it be damp under the lino?
I thought its waterproof.

Just in case you don't know, black mould is bad news for health and must all be removed.
