A bleach water solution. 1 bleach to 3 water and scrub, let dry, repeat. do the whole underside area all around to slow down return.

If its under the silicon sealant then the whole sealant has to come out cos it will have pockets of mold trapped, u need to replace it with a mold resistant silicone as mentioned here already, be carefull when scraping it off a plastic bath, gently does it and meths it good for breaking up any left over bits.

first take off the old sealant then treat with a mold killer
follow the instructions
after 24 hours when surface is clean replace the sealant (making sure that it has a mold retardant compound there are lots about one thing buy a quality sealant)

Remove the old sealant. Replace with a mildew and mold resistant silicone that can be found at your local Lowes or Home Depot, they can help you there. Then from time to time spray some bleach water on the area and let it sit. This works great to prevent anything from reoccurring.

Mould and Mildew Remover by Dettol pale green bottle available at most supermarkets.. make sure you wear gloves and have the window open though!! but it really works I use kitchen towels to apply as you can then just flush them away or burn them

You can get a product that is specifically for removing mould, I cant remeber what its called now, but looking in your supermarket, it really works. You spray it on and leave it for 10 mins and lo and behold its vanishes
