Epoxy and some fiberglass sheeting would work, but probably be ugly.

If you choose to go this direction, you may want to rough up the
sorrounding area to give the epoxy some bite.

There are all sorts of products for building shower stalls, from fake
tile sheeting that attaches to a substrate with adhesive to retrofit
fiberglass sorounds that come in multiple pieces - base, side walls,
door/curtain.

Any of those will probably look better and last longer than fixing the
existing hole.

Of course this assumes you are repairing a actual shower stall - you
didn't say specifically - and not one of those mobile home bathrooms
where the whole room is the shower stall.
