    If you bathroom floor is sinking you have a structural problem. You may need to tear off the entire floor down to the floor joists to see what is going on and make repairs from that point. You don't want to tile over anything until you know what is happening to make the floor sink. If you can't do this yourself you will need to have a contractor come in.

      I agree...our bathroom floor was also sinking, so the top floor came off, down to the joists, and lo-and behold! a very slow, but sure water leak, rotting the floor, weakening it and making it sink. Repaired the leak with new hoses, replaced the flooring with new, and now, no more sinking floor. Don't like that sinking feeling.
