Default 'Temporary' fix for skirting?

Our bathroom is tiled all the way to the floor which, of course,
means that some tiles have cracked. Rather than searching for a
match (in good nick but they must be over 40 years old), I was
thinking of skirting the room. The problem with this is that if I
fix all the skirting properly, it will prevent me from taking the
bath panel off. So, I was thinking of fixing most of the skirting
with gripfill (a la normal) and the crucial bits with something like
silicone, which would let me pull them off if and when I need to,
without ripping all the tiles behind them. Does anyone have either
a) any clever suggestions as alternatives or b) any suggestions of
what sort of silicone-y gunk would be best to use?

Many thanks and Happy Christmas!



Have you considered using Velcro?


or double-sided foam tape
