Bit of an odd one really but iv got 2 sections of skirting board which must remain stuck fairly flush to wall to keep it looking neat but also be removable quite easily (by lifting away or pulling out) i siliconed them to the tiles before but they was a real pain to remove.

The only reason they must be removable is because i cannot take my bath panel off if not. And today iv had to remove it to fit some none return valves i overlooked upon fitting the bathroom.

Any suggestions of how i could do this?
 
You should use a slither of skirting board as a profile to draw around and cut the required shapes from the bath panel. If the bath panel is wood or MDF then paint the cut edges with some gloss paint to seal them. Then fit skirting permanently with some grab adhesive and that way you can also put some calk along the top of the skirting to fill any gap, smooth that off with a fugi tool and then you have a pro looking job.

Its an acrylic panel with almost no strength left in it anyhow as i fitted a 1700 bath in a 1685 slot so the ends had to come off and one end put slightly into the stud wall. Cutting it anymore isnt really an option as it will lose any remaining strength and sag/bend in the middle. The skirting option is easier even if it must go back on with silicone and i just struggle every time to remove it if and when i do need to under the bath.

My only other idea but i have no clue how to do it is router a hole out which i can slot a screw into and push down to lock it into place tightly. Removal is just pulling it back upwards and away?
