Changing a large bathroom mirror may seem like a daunting task but with the right tools and some preparation it can be done in a few simple steps.

Tools & Materials you'll need:

Steps:

Safety first: Before you start, turn off the power to the bathroom at the circuit breaker. This will prevent any electrical accidents.
Remove the old mirror: Carefully remove the old mirror from the wall. If it is glued on, use a putty knife to gently pry it off. Be careful not to damage the wall.
Clean the wall: Once the old mirror is removed, clean the wall thoroughly with a clean cloth and some rubbing alcohol. This will remove any dirt or debris that could prevent the new mirror from adhering properly.
Measure and mark the wall: Use a level to mark the wall where you want the new mirror to go. Make sure the marks are level and that the mirror will be centered on the wall.
Apply mirror adhesive: Apply a generous bead of mirror adhesive to the back of the new mirror. Make sure to apply the adhesive evenly around the entire perimeter of the mirror.
Hang the mirror: carefully lift the mirror and place it on the wall, aligning it with the marks you made earlier. Press firmly on the mirror to ensure that it is securely attached to the wall.
Caulk around the mirror: Use a caulk gun to apply a thin bead of caulk around the perimeter of the mirror. This will help to seal the mirror in place and prevent moisture from getting behind it.
Clean up: Use a clean cloth to wipe away any excess caulk or adhesive. Allow the caulk to dry completely before using the bathroom.
