Upcycling a bathroom cabinet

Hi, I acquired a bathroom cabinet from freecycle. It is very similar to this. Buy Argos Home Tongue & Groove Single Storage Unit - White | Freestanding bathroom cabinets | Argos The top of the cabinet has a few marks on which I would like to cover. I wasn't sure what the best thing would be to use would be, which could cope with being in a moist environment at times. Ideally I wan looking for something I can trim to size and stick on the top. Would welcome any ideas please, thank you

    If it is:

    Made from MDF with a painted finish

    Have you considered painting it with as close a match wood/metal paint as you can find?
    A man walked into a car showroom.
    He said to the salesman, “My wife would like to talk to you about the Volkswagen Golf in the showroom window.”
    Salesman said, “We haven't got a Volkswagen Golf in the showroom window.”
    The man replied, “You have now mate".

    I'd paint it a different colour completely! And then add a creative flair in the narrowboat style because I'm such a girl :D

    No way would I do such a thing with brand new, though.

    So much to read, so little time.

    No reliance should be placed on the above! Absolutely none, do you hear?
