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.

Any comments or other ideas?

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.

That's veneered chipboard for you. Don't repeat the mistake.

Whatever looks ok - you can't help it being a bodge.

Veneered chip. Much maligned but copes with *almost* anything in
*normal* domestic situations. The new high gloss coated chip, used in
bathroom furniture manufacture, is actually waterproof.

it so does not.

temporarily I expect.

You pays your money and takes your pick. Needless to say most veneered chip ends up in landfill after 20 years.
