Blown tiles in shower

[Super_Paulie]

Good evening friends. 

Looking for a bit of advice here. Still ongoing home extension, basically focusing on downstairs. However when the beam was put in the house moved/settled onto it and the room above (bathroom) is tiled floor to ceiling, the grout was coming out like gunfire. 

 

The bathroom will be getting totally pulled out, however I have other priorities at the moment downstairs. I am getting a small water leak through the blown tiles in the shower area, am I better off going round with the silicone gun along every grout line or just pulling the whole lot out, tile backer, then whack the old tiles back on? It'll only be temporary, so what would be my best option to not wreck the plasterboard ceiling below? The tiles are on an old wet plastered brick wall, 1930s.

Been in a similar situation years ago, my late wife came up with the idea of using sticky back vinyl which is super cheap, and did the job perfectly, it lasted a good 10 years
