Have seen this numerous times.
The first think I would tell you is to address the real problem first. It is the water leaking either under the door or wall that has created this issue. If it is not fixed, anything you do will be for naught. Find a good contractor experienced with home repair and be prepared to spend several hundred dollars to rebuild whatever structural issued they discover. Once the infiltration of water is resolved you can then look at several solutions to repair the interior damage and replacement of tile or flooring of your choice.
