i) it looks like hardboard rather than MDF

ii) It looks if the panel was fitted first and then that piece of
skirting board attached to the bath frame afterwards. Possibly it was
screwed to the frame and then the screw holes filled prior to painting.
The screws possibly go through the panel. You need to remove that piece
of skirting board.


Mine is hardboard and skirting, but just remove the screws (plated brass -
still OK after about 28 years) and it all comes away. I deliberately used
slotted RH screws to make a 'feature' so that no concealing of them was
necessary.
