Fixing bath panel to frame

[clueless111]

I don't know if this is in the right place but I need some advice.
I have bought a bath panel and my boyfriend has made a frame for it to fix onto but he mentioned screwing the bath panel to the frame and I just think its going to look awful with big screw holes through the panel.
I've spent over £100 on this panel and don't want it ruined.
Is there some other way that this bath panel can be fixed onto the frame (wooden) without screwing it on?
My son mentioned something about magnets, does anyone know anything about this?
We obviously wnat the bath panel to be removable incase we need to repair pipes etc. under the bath.

several suggestions

assuming the top is held under the lip at the top you only need to secure the bottom by for example the floor covering further secured by silicone against lino for example
just make shure you have enough movement up top to slide up and clear the bottom

you can also use velcro for example

You can cover the srews with screwcaps, like these

or something like this

Secret panel fixings like those from Woodfit that Bilious posted a link to can work....though they can be a pain to fit and then you still need to be able to 'lever' the bath panel off/out without damaging it.

It would help if we knew what colour / material the bath panel is made of ?

I have white plastic at home, fixed with screws and white plastic screw caps, but I don't like it to be honest ....

Sometimes, chrome domed mirror screws can look acceptable.

Only yesterday I fitted a custom made bath panel for a customer, I made it from American Black Walnut veneered moisture resistant 12mm ply, 4 x coats of Dulux Satin Diamond Glaze, with the same fixing dilemma....

The most effective comprimise to keep the clean, modern look, was to fix to the panel with a discreet screw in each corner, sink the screw below the surface and fill with Liberon walnut soft wax, remove excess and buff with a soft cloth. You would never know unless you were on your hands and feet hunting for them.....and it remains waterproof....

If your bath panel is 'wood effect' then this would be a good solution with the appropriate coloured wax....

If not, then screws with cover caps, velcro, or secret panel fixings....

Yes, you can use little magnets, I did it once and it worked very well.
