Default How can I repair a hole in shower wall ?

*It seemed to me that the fiberglass resin would stick to
*anything. So my idea now is to try using it to repair this hole.

*Question: Does this sound like it will work (would the resin stick

*other patch method I should refer to ?

*TIA

Your idea will work although epoxy resin would be more flexible and
durable. A new shower enclosure is not so expensive and is the
preferred fix.
