Replacing a bathroom mirror seems simple, yet homeowners are often surprised by the range of prices. CountBricks created this guide so you can plan your budget with confidence, avoid hidden labor fees, and take advantage of our AI-driven estimating engine. Whether you are refreshing a powder room or completing a full ensuite renovation, knowing the true bathroom mirror replacement cost will help you choose the perfect glass, frame, and mounting style—without draining your remodeling fund.
• Mirrors are installed at the very end of most bathroom projects, so unexpected price spikes can derail timelines and final inspections
• Costs ripple through drywall repair, electrical relocation, and vanity alignment if measurements are off by even ⅛ inch
• Real-time material pricing protects your margin when you are a residential GC quoting several bathrooms at once
CountBricks.com/services integrates voice data from the jobsite with nationwide pricing feeds, producing instant estimates that keep every stakeholder on the same page.
Across suburban neighborhoods, CountBricks data shows a median installed bathroom mirror replacement cost between $275 and $650. Upscale homes with custom framed glass, integrated LED lighting, or anti-fog technology often land between $750 and $1,300. Economy projects—think off-the-shelf frameless glass swapped into an existing clip system—average $150 to $225. Remember that regional labor rates, disposal fees, and wall conditions can shift these numbers up or down.
1. Mirror Material
• Stock frameless glass: $40 – $120
• Beveled edge glass: $80 – $180
• Framed decorative mirror: $150 – $400
• Smart LED or defogging mirror: $250 – $700
2. Labor
• Simple swap on clips: 0.5 – 1 labor hour
• Removal with drywall patch: 2 – 3 labor hours
• New electrical for back-lit mirror: 3 – 4 labor hours
CountBricks AI quotes automatically pull your local labor burden and union modifiers, so your estimate never relies on guesswork.
3. Additional Materials
• Mastic, anchors, and mounting clips: $15 – $35
• GFCI upgrade for integrated lighting: $45 – $90
• Disposal and hauling: $20 – $60
• Size & Weight – Larger mirrors require two installers and reinforced hardware, raising both labor and material outlay.
• Framing Complexity – Rustic wood frames may need sealing against moisture, while metal frames demand precise miters.
• Wall Condition – Removing builder-grade glued mirrors often peels paper off drywall. Repair compounds and skim coats add time.
• Electrical Integration – LED mirrors need wiring, sometimes necessitating wall chiseling and permit fees.
• Accessibility Codes – In aging-in-place remodels, mirrors are lowered for seated users, affecting mounting hardware and blocking requirements.

1. Measure the existing mirror height, width, and wall thickness.
2. Voice the numbers into the CountBricks mobile app to capture baseline data.
3. Protect the vanity top with a moving blanket to prevent scratching.
4. Score any mastic beads with a utility blade and gently pry with suction cups.
5. Inspect drywall, repair with setting compound, and apply primer.
6. Mark new mounting points, ensuring at least two screws land in studs.
7. Hang the mirror, level it, and seal edges where required.
8. Update CountBricks to generate the final invoice—materials, labor, and disposal in one click.
• Order mirrors ¼ inch shorter than backsplash height to avoid tight contact
• Back-prime natural wood frames to prevent moisture warp
• Use continuous French cleats for heavy mirrors over 60 inches
• Pre-assemble LED driver boxes outside the bathroom to keep cords tidy
• Photograph stud locations before drywall closes for easier future upgrades
Does removing a glued mirror always damage drywall?
Not always, but CountBricks project data shows about 60 % of glued mirrors leave cosmetic tears that require at least a skim coat. Budget an extra 1–2 labor hours.
Can I reuse existing mounting clips?
If the new mirror is the same thickness and the clips aren’t brittle, yes. However, new clips cost under $10 and reduce liability.
