    Using 'damp friendly' paint is unlikely to solve it. It just prevents moisture soaking into walls/ceiling - the flip side can be they're running with water because it can't escape without ventilation.

    Also consider replacing the broken tiles, and replace what looks like damaged sealant along vertical corners and around the bath. Otherwise water is seeping through and holding it in the walls, making the problem worse.

    It's difficult to see from the photo - but is there condensation on the window, or has the double glazing blown? If the latter, that's obviously not going to help either.
