Default Pink Stain / Slime in Plastic Shower

While taking appropriate safety precautions, get some cheap laundry
bleach and apply to the affected areas, typically the floor. Let it
work for a while, then rinse. Follow the dilution directions for
sanitizing.
We get the same buildup periodically in our marble shower. Bleach
kills the bacteria and sanitizes it for a while. Then the shower gets
used and more stuff arrives.

My local public water plant says that a pink slime/stain on my plastic
shower surface is from bacteria in the surrounding environment that like
plastic and the nutrients in water. I use scrubbing bubbles every day
but it doesn't seem to help much with this build up. Anyone know the
low-down on this issue and if my water plant is correct?

TIA,
