Ok, because I am an idiot and bad at measuring, I have a gap between my new end bath panel and the wall.
It's a 700mm panel but apparently a 730mm bath - didn't realise that was a thing and when I originally measured, I stupidly thought 'close enough'. The supplier doesn't do 730mm panels and there are some background domestic issues which mean I would want to send them back again.
So, how do I fill the gap?
The panels are made of sealed MDF. As this is in a non-visible corner, this doesn't need to be superperfect. As you might see in the photo, I have a square shaped piece of spare plinth left over, but for it to fill the gap, I'd need to cut it into slices so there'd be a 'ladder' effect.
Would a bit of melamine cut to size do the job? It's only a dinky job so was thinking get a bit of board cut, get a tester point of their paint and primer colour matched to the plinth, paint it, glue it in with wood glue and then seal off the edges. Would that work?
