Fixing shower tray onto tiles

Does anyone know if it is ok to fix a stone resin slimline shower tray directly onto newly laid tiles? The tray is a quadrant shape so don't fancy cuting the tiles to suit!!

I was planning to use a decent silocone sealent to fix the tray to the tiles.

Any advice would be much appreciated.
