This, but you can prime to get a better bond with mastic. How much of the tile is over the painted surface? How big are the tiles/stone? Use Gripper primer, not too many primers seem to really work.

Tell me what you need or like to do, I can give you phone numbers to people that will only do a portion of the work for you, like floating the pan.

Once you clean up that mess, take another pic of the shower will ya? I like to see the drain. How's the rest of the plumbing? The light, now is the time to do it.
