Use a multi tool to cut the skirting, remove it then you should be fine.

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.

Skirting round a 'king bath? What loony did that?

Take the opportunity to make a new bath panel to size, and attach it to
the frame with magnets. That way it can be removed easily for access.

Or can fall off with a kick.

So many people make service panels for kit that will last longer than
the panel will.

Fan went in one of my toilets. Fan was - is - installed in the ceiling
void with no hatch.,

Out with the plasterboard saw, remove section of ceiling, replace fan,
replace plasterboard, fill, paint...that should be OK for the next 16
years...

I've got two 12V dimmable lighting transformers buried in walls...

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.

I think the advice you have had from the rest of the group is possibly
wrong. (There's fighting talk!)

I would leave the skirting board in place, and I'd trim away the rest of
the bath panel. It looks like hardboard, so a sharp knife should do the
trick. Then make up a new bath panel to slot in on top of the skirting
board.

The skirting board would be a bugger to remove, as there are bound to be
screws into the framework that have been artfully covered over with filler.

That's assuming you can do whatever you need to do under the bath
without removing the skirting board.

+1. Then silicone it to stop the skirting getting soaked. Which means getting the new panel rigid there, which means adding another bit of wood.

Most regulars here don't read anything from that website you're using.

The skirting appears to have been fixed with the usual couple of nails
every couple of feet, which surprised me - maybe the bottom rail behind
it is 4x2 rather than 2x2. Or maybe the skirting was reused from
somewhere else. I'd put a cold chisel down the back of the skirting to
see where it stuck.
