Loads of old panelled Victorian doors in our house. OF course, these

cracked. Filling and painting is a bit Forth bridge like.

If I had some thin material which wouldn't crack and looked like wood
or maybe was wood, I could cover the panels with this. The slight
loss of depth probably wouldn't show.

What might work?

My parents purchased a house in the 1960s and that is the first thing
that was done to all the doors. The open under-stairs and all the way up
the the banisters was also clad in hardboard.

The first thing I did when we moved into a 1911 house in 1977 was to remove
the hardboard from the doors and and banisters.

I was perhaps lucky that the previous owners of this place weren't into
DIY. So it was largely untouched. Apart from repairs to WW2 bomb damage -
so all 'new' plasterboard ceilings. Sadly, the cornices went at the same
time.
