Cheap plastic over nice tile, how to remove?

I have a beautiful old house that was 'spruced up' before we bought it. Part of the bathroom renovations included covering a shower enclosure with cheap plastic liner.

It wasn't well done, and is a total mess/mildew trap. Peering behind the sheeting, I found the original tile is covered (haphazardly) with contact cement. The plastic will peel easily, and it appears that the tile and backing wall is sound.

Can I clean up this mess? Can I remove the contact cement from the tile without destroying them?

Thanks for your help!
