Hardboad Bath Panel

[ColinColeman]

Hi all, New to the Forum.


I'm currently on furlough from work and the Misses has me decorating the house!
Now in the Bathroom we have a White faced hardboard panel that has some wear on it that has exposed the panel beneath. Can this be Painted over or would it be better to replace the whole panel, If it can be painted could I just use the same gloss white I have for the Doors and skirting?

If I was to replace the panel could I use MDF and what width would be OK?

Its probably best to prime the whole panel with an MDF primer before the top coat, but if you want to replace the panel then MDF board is essentially the same product.
Not the best for a bathroom as it doesn’t like getting wet!
