Default Damaged Chipboard carcass on bathroom unit

We have a bathroom cabinet which still looks nice with the exception
that part
of one side of the cabinet has the chipboard slightly exposed due to slight
damage to the veneer.
It would be difficult to replace without having to pull bath out.
Initial thoughts were to use angled fascia (9mm) to cover the corner. Have
tested and this would look good - with exception to thickness would make
doors
look odd.
Another thought - to make it a thinner "wrap" was to use white sticky back
plastic. Plastic being water resistant but thin enough to both cover the
damage without pulling doors too far away from cabinet.


You have not said what the veneer looks like, but other options would
include filling the damaged section, or routing out a bigger bit and
gluing in some patch veneer.
