It has a good slope on it.
Will the joints between the stones look bad with grout as the stones on the sheet all touch each other.?
What is the procedure for getting them up without damaging the shower tray? I've got it into my head to take the lot up and start it again

the drain looks higher than the mosaic, as @antonio has said above,
Is that right, or is it angle of photography?
Mosaic can actually be difficult to fix into a shower former if u don't know what you're doing.
If you take a tape measure, and following the contours of the former, and measure one end it will be shorter than the same measurement taken across the centre. (Through middle of drain)
With some mosaic you need to account for this variation in width, after all the mosaic are a constant size, whereas the measurements across the former are not.
This where the art of opening and closing of sheets comes into its own.

having used pebbles like that before i can safely say they do not tessellate well at all. they're very tighly bunched on the sheet but getting a tight joint between 2 sheets was not possible without removing the pebbles from the edge and ripping a couple of other sheets up to make it up yourself. it was not a pleasant job and just on a standard floor.

They are a nightmare these pebble sheets, I usually offer a sheet up to the next one and if there needs to be any tweaked I pull them off the backing and just tweak a bit to close the gaps
