Bleach WILL kill mold but it has no efficacy. That means it only kills what it touches and it doesn't;t keep it from growing back.
In some bathrooms, it just always seems to stay wet. That allows the mold one of the two things it needs. Food and water. Food is plentiful and it is doubtful you will keep it from having it as it eats just about anything. The water seems hard since it is a shower but it usually is not.
Do you have cracks at the area where the tub meets the tub surround? If so, seal it with a MOLD resistant caulk.
ANother thing that sounds crazy but works like a champ is to dry the shower after use. I know that sounds nuts but MANY people do it. They take a shower, dry off, then dry off the shower walls. No water no mold.
Good luck with it.

If you are in the USA, try this
1 part bleach
1part water
1 part simple green cleaning soultion
mix and spray heavy, let sit for ten 15 minutes and rinse
the mixture will kill and prevent for returning ,
it will work on the outside of the house for mildew and dirt from street film, and black mold,
use gloves and mask inside or vetn really good
outside stay away from drippin's it will stain you clothes

Have you tried Mr. Clean Magic Sponge? I had good luck with that on some scum in my tub for which nothing else had ever worked.

A strong Bleach scrub usually works for me. Clorox softscrub with a bath scrungy wont scratch the surface.

to KILL mold, the one sure bet is bleach. That will make sure it doesn't grow.
