I guess you could stick the old bit back in place, and then make good with filler and paint but the fire resistace would be compromised to a certain extent.......there again, who's to know?
If it was mine I'd bite the bullet and get a new door fitted - much quicker in the long run, because once your new buyer had spotted any repair it would make them nervous.

as john has said you have compromised the fire door by cutting into it,for future reference the supplers of fire doors normally stipulate that a maximum of 3-4 mm can be removed for fitting purposes,any other type of cutting has to be done by them.
get a new door, the time it will take you to try to do a invisible repair and repaint would probably be the same as fitting a new 1.
