If you have waited to long and there's a buildup of soap scum and hard water residue, you may need to repeat a couple of times to get to the bottom of it, especially if the shower floor is made of those small textured tiles. Start with a good stiff scrub brush (be sure it's large enough to cover some ground and test the grip in the store before buying; small brushes and brushes that don't fit your hand with cause fatigue before long) and a cleaner designed for soap scum and hard water buildup. Most of them work pretty good but avoid the foamy kind. I alternate CLR and Tilex. First go around, use the cleaning liquid straight. Just scrub until you see some effect or until you run out of steam. It may take only one try or several.
Once the buildup is defeated, a spray cleaner designed for the job will keep it up. I personally use a large sponge designed for car washing. Be sure that the cleaner label says that it's OK for tile, some chemicals will deteriorate the grout.
I once cleaned my tile shower stall floor regularly with a powdered cleanser and a brush. It really worked well until one day I had to remove the drain cover to see what was blocking the drainage. There was a cleanser buildup in the pipe that had formed a 'cement' coating so thick that the drainage was reduced to about a half inch hole. So, avoid using powdered cleanser regularly, it's not good for the shiny tile anyway.
Tile and grout usually needs a lot of agitation to remove embedded soils. Try using a grout brush and any kind of tile cleaner.

Can a shower stall be painted with water based paint?
I have had excellent results painting my shower tile with Zinnser Bullseye 123 latex primer. It has stuck to the shiny tiles for years now. I don't know what your stall is made of but I would expect you could paint just about anything if you can paint tile.

Make sure the surface is completely dry and squeaky clean.
