ᐅ Bathroom / Water Damage

Hello everyone,
we recently experienced a severe water damage in our house. Our house is an old farmhouse that we have been renovating gradually by ourselves.
Due to this water damage, the grout in the bathroom has come loose and is now gradually breaking apart. From the beginning, we had some issues with our bathroom floor because an old house is always shifting slightly. Cracks quickly formed in the grout, and we have already replaced grout once before.
Does anyone recognize this problem and have experience with it? Is a tiled floor even a good choice in our case? Are there any alternatives to tiled flooring in the bathroom? Maybe wood? I would be grateful for ideas or experiences. Thank you.

Wood would no longer be an option for me in the house. A screed floor with tiles laid on top—that, I believe, is the solution for the bathroom.

I agree with that. Wood is completely unsuitable as flooring in the bathroom. Apply a flowing screed and then tiles on top. That lasts forever and also looks good. The selection of tiles is huge.
