    Large bathroom mirror
    Hi

    I recently had a large bespoke mirror fitted on my bathroom wall. The mirror is surrounded by tiles.

    As it was supposed to be made to measure I was unhappy with the gap between the mirror and the tiles - about 8mm - 10mm.

    The local shop who supplied and fitted the mirror sent someone round to fill in the gap with sealant - it looks OK places but not very good in others.

    I am wondering if I can buy a border that I could stick on the mirror to cover the gap and the sealant. A narrow mirrored border would be perfect.

    Photos are attached

    Many thanks
    Ayshe

    Just my advice : whatever you do : leave the bottom (partly) open for drainage !
    Otherwise you have to buy a new mirror again very soon !

    Yes, the glass company can or should be able to provide strips of beveled or polished edge mirror that is affixed with doubled sided tape or adhesive. A common repair for mirrors that have begun to de-silver around the edges. A double beveled border actually looks quite nice and does not have the "repaired" look.I
