Yes, but most of the budget offerings will be MDF (if not vacuum formed plastic - I spent a long time looking at them). We got a panel with doors that open to allow for under bath storage of cleaning products and stuff (and easy inspection for leaks). That is MDF but pretty well painted. So as long as you seal the edges pretty well and clean up any big splashes, it should last some time. But eventually water will find a way.
MDF bath panels/skirting around a bath. Am I alone in thinking that these are just doomed to fail sooner or later?
