Hi there, I have an inbuilt bathroom cabinet / shelving with a mirrored door. When I opened it the other day, the bottom hinge detached from the mirror. The other two are quite secure but also the door appears to have dropped slightly since. I’m unsure how best to reattach it. I think I will...

Hi - anyone know of a mirror - ideally 600 wide by 800 high with the shaver point and IR sensor (or switch) on the LEFT? The one supplied and all others I can find on line have these on the right and there isn't room between the unit and the wall to plug a razor in of for the sensor to work...

I know this has been posted before, but in some old threads... and some of my questions aren't in there so I'll start a new one rather than try to resurrect them. I'm hoping to make an LED 'Hollywood Style' mirror for the other half. Making the unit itself I am fine with and I know it'll look...

I'm looking to install mirrored bathroom cabinets, and due to needing around 2.3m width of wall to cover, struggling to find any single mirrored cabinet to buy that wide. So looking to maybe get a few units of one, and just hang them side by side. Problem is, will the doors get in the way of...

I have a wall which I want to put mirror tiles on – the only problem is there’s an alcove with a curved top at one end. Once fitted I’d like to put some kind of channel or beading around the alcove to hide the edges of the tiles but whatever I use will have to be bendable. Suggestions ?

I've run a lighting cable down the wall in the plaster and now looking at a heated mirror. Has anyone got advice on which one to go with. Buy a complete package, or buy a separate heated pad and mirror? Thanks
