Help bath panel keeps popping out

The front plastic panel on my bath keeps popping out from one side when the door is opened.It appears to be fixed at the bottom and there just appears to be a blob of white stuff holding it in at top which obviously doesnt work. I can't get a hold of the guy who did the bathroom so need to try and fix it myself. Any ideas please? Thank you

    Any chance of a photo as the explanation isn't clear. I didn't think baths had doors (except the specialist ones for pensioners).
  • Hi thanks for answering camera not working unfortunately., Sorry didnt make myself clear it is just a decorative front plastic panel

    Sounds to me like your bathroom is airtight if the panel pops off when the door opens !!
    What about a bit of double sided tape ??

    Scrape off the white stuff, get yourself a tube of silicone sealant and re blob then push the panel on.

    Assuming by 'door' you mean the door into the bathroom, do you open this inward or outward?

    Essentially, it sounds like there's gaps in floor or wall under the bath, and the airflow is displacing the panel. If these could be filled, it would stop the problem.
