Bathroom mirror - drill or stick?

[PeterOut]

No disrespect to the original poster, but if he is not sure whether to drill or glue his mirror, do you really think he is ready for the advanced Ninja-style 'hang my tools and myself from the ceiling' style of DIY that your photo shows?

Word.

I'm trying to work out what fixings I need for a plasterboard wall. I think this job might "roll over" into tomorrow.

I have in my possession though - a mirror - so today hasn't been a total washout

My well used rule of thumb when it comes to DIY is to completely **** up any job I am asked to do, and the requests then become fewer and fewer. I put this plan into operation 16 years ago and it has been working valiantly to the point where I am asked to do hardly anything nowadays

Option 3: My method would be, pay someone to do it for you

Drilling is the professional option.

We've got one stuck on by the previous occupants. Need to get it off to decorate. Any tips?

I had the same issue and it was a nightmare to get it off the wall. Goggles, hammer and bolster required.

Commando hangers are the way to go, they are superb.
Anything to put on a wall now gets put up with them and you can easily remove as well, just remember to put the right size and right amount for what you are hanging.

Even better.

But it looks like op was bullied into cracking a few tiles!

Carefully place the mirror to the desired position and then carefully duct tape the mirror to the tiles. Job done.

Those commando things are a blessing because there is no way I would drill a tile or glass because I know what would happen along with drilling straight through a water pipe or electric cable.
