We had the same problem and the tub was builder grade harvest gold. We hired a company to come in and coat the tub and surround, which took 1/2 a day. It has held up well, especially since I had to use shower bench following a back surgery.
All the moving in and out did scratch several places which we healed with appliance touch up paint.
This has happened to mine. I used comet with a touch of water. Scrub scrub scrub. It will turn white again buuut its not a peminant fix. But it will last months.
I agree with Elaine- enamel paint should do the trick, and you can probably do it yourself. Ask your home center about what type of prep you'll need to do first to ensure it adheres and so that water won't leak through the crack.
Not sure what type of material your floor is made of, but there are repair kits for fiberglass floors:

Hope this helps, and good luck 😉!
Because if that shower pan leaks you could end up with structural damage I have to agree with Elaine, your money would be well spent to hire it done.
They make kits for this that you can buy at Lowe's or Home Depot
Strongly suggest replacement, even if an insert over the existing.
But definitely get a professional opinion. If possible don't go with vinyl again - it has a history of discolouring making it impossible to clean.
If it gets bad enough, then your best option is probably to put in a new shower insert over the existing one.
