Before you even consider even attempting to re-apply the tiles you need to get the damp problem resolved, if the wall is damp you will always have tiles popping off.

You should have an electrical damp proof fitted not only for the room mentioned but also your other rooms that show signs of damp.

Agree with lamntile, if the wall is damp then nothing will stick to it, you need to resolve this problem
If you think nobody cares, try missing a couple of payments..
