The base of my shower looks really bad. It's supposed to be white but has a lot of ground in dirt discoloring it. Nothing I have tried has worked.

Try a mixture of 1 part bleach and 2 parts water. Use a stiff brush to apply and let it sit 15 minutes and then scrub!
I tried that and didn't seem to to anything. Also, used baking powder and vinegar.
Here in the US we have a product called CLR. I tried it and it worked even better than bleach. And it hasn't harmed the surface. We have a fiberglass shower. Good Luck.
If a regular abrasive cleanser such as Ajax or Comet won't clean it, or a liquid cleaner such as Mr Clean (or whatever your standard brands would be in the UK), I would also try a product like the CLR recommended. It is an acid product for dissolving limescale and hard water deposits, which could be what you have in the bottom of the shower.
Try the Magic Eraser. We have a motor home with a "plastic" shower and they work great.
Try making a paste out of crushed denture cleaner tablets and water. Smear it on the shower floor and leave it over night, covering it with plastic wrap to keep it wet.
I heard on YouTube to use toilet bowl cleaner on walls so it would prob work on floors. Put on floors and scrub
I had the same problem! Tried everything and was considering having the existing shower insert removed and I was pondering about what to replace it with for ease of cleaning. I saw here, on ThriftyFun about using Fume free
I tried this on our tile shower floor....worked great!!!
