Bath/shower tile repair

[stevearthur]

I've been living in my first home for the last year. I noticed that my 1st bathroom needs a little work,or so I thought. I don't have the money to retile. However, what can I do for a temporary fix? The tile wall in my bath/shower has started to come part on the edge of the window. The grout has cracked on the corner and the vertical tiles are bowed and move a little. Also, I noticed that under the tile is dry wall and not cement board. What can I do till I have the money to fix it correctly...Redo the entire shower.

the tile has moisture behind it. for a temp fix use a silicone based sealant - something that'll prevent moisture from entering yet be able to be pulled out when you attempt a more permanent repair.
