How do i replace the mirror on a bathroom cabinet?

[Rob81x]

I have the wall mounted cabinets that are frameless mirrored doors and want to replace the mirror? i cannot see any obvious way they are attached and think they may be glued?

Is there a way to replace this mirror or is a whole new door required?

thanks all

Hello @Rob81x 

Welcome to the Bunnings Workshop community. It's sensational to have you join us, and thanks for sharing your question about your bathroom mirror.  

Please note that working with glass is quite dangerous, an errant hit with a tool or if too much force is applied could cause the mirror to shatter.

Mirrors are usually glued in place to prevent it from accidentally falling out. Some manufacturers sandwich them in between timber to secure them. Can you please provide a photo of the mirror frame itself? This will give our members a better idea of how the glass was put into place. We can then make recommendations on how to proceed.

If you need further assistance, please let us know.

Thanks EricL, please see below. The glass is stuck down solid. i am not sure its designed to come off in once piece, if at all.

Hi @Rob81x,

If the mirror is securely glued to the cabinet door and there’s no obvious method for removal, it’s likely that the door was designed as a single unit with the mirror permanently affixed. Attempting to remove the mirror can be extremely dangerous, as applying force to separate the glass could cause it to shatter, leading to potential injury. In this case, replacing the entire cabinet door is the safest and most practical solution. Consider contacting the manufacturer or supplier to see if replacement doors are available. If it were one of our units, I would be happy to do that for you. Alternatively, you might like to check out our range of wall cabinets as replacing it might be a simpler and more cost-effective solution than trying to track down new doors.
