The bottom panel of my kitchen cabinet under the sink has some warpage
from an old water leak. What's the best way to replace this bottom
panel?
HD guy says just nail or glue a veneer on top...

We don't know the type of material.

Might be a cover-up :(

That is usually the most practical solution- cut a drop-in panel or panels
out of something durable, and lay it in there. Usually no way to change out
the existing panel in place. If the warpage is minor, a piece of industrial
flooring of some kind may work. Note that it will usually take at lease two
pieces, due to the center rail on the front frame. A roll of duct tape, some
squares of cardboard, and a sharp pair of heavy scissors or a box knife are
the way to start. Piece together a full size pattern in cardboard, to
exactly fit all the weird corners and drilled holes. Pull it back out and
reassemble using the lines you drew over the seams as a key, lay it on your
patch material, and cut to match. Tedious, but not rocket surgery.
I keep all under-sink liquids and cleaners in tall plastic pans for just
this reason. If they leak, no big deal. They won't protect against supply
lines leaking, but one tray is under each trap, so if those leak, I have
some protection as well. (Although this cabinet is far from a virgin on
leaks.)

It's stained oak(?) far as I can tell. There is no peeling, just ugly
discoloration and warpage toward the back.

I had the problem of the sink leaking down below and ruined the bottom of
the cabinet. My cabinet bottom was made of particle board (imagine that)
so, It was pretty easy to remove it. It does form the bottom of the
cabinet. But if you are somewhat careful you can knockout most of it and
put in new. I went to HD and got a piece of formica topped particle board
and cut it to size. Be sure to cut it to two pieces to fit in the bottom
underneath the sink. Also, I didnt nail it in place. Left it loose so that
if it happened again or if I needed to get in below it it would be easier
next time.
