2 pieces of plywood, (or MDF), joined together at right angles with a batten so they form a letter L
A batten on the back wall and a corresponding batten on the floor so the L shape will turn upside down and sit on the wall batten and against the floor batten. Screw through the plywood into the battens to secure them or just leave them loose for easy removal.
Sand, prime and paint to whatever colour you desire.
 
batten screwed to the wall

batten siliconed to the floor

bit of 9mm / 12mm ply with batten to join front

if you do top bit first, screw bit of batten to ply at front edge
screw batten to wall.
measure down to to mark floor
silicon batten to floor
screw ply front on

Update. This is what I made. Priming and painting next. Wall edging strip to go on then job done. Thanks again for the guidance.

Yes, fascia and soffit and a bit of silicone is all the rage nowadays.
