Custom Bathroom and Vanity Mirrors Installed in Chicago
We install custom bathroom mirrors across Chicago and its suburbs. Vanity mirrors, full-wall mirrors, and replacement glass for mirrors that have failed, all sized to your wall rather than to a box store’s inventory.
Standard mirrors come in a handful of widths. Vanities do not. A 54-inch vanity leaves you choosing between a 48-inch mirror that looks undersized and a 60-inch mirror that runs into the light fixture or the corner. Neither one looks intentional, and both are obvious once the room is finished.
A custom cut fixes that. We measure the wall, account for outlets, sconces, and tile edges, then cut the mirror to fill the space the way it should.

Bathroom Mirror Installation
We measure, cut, and install custom mirrors for bathrooms, vanities, and living spaces throughout Chicago and the surrounding suburbs, with edgework and mounting handled by our own crew.
Bathroom Mirror Services in Chicago
If your home was built or remodeled before roughly the 1990s, the bathroom mirror was probably glued directly to the drywall with mastic adhesive. Those do not come off cleanly. Pulling one yourself usually takes a layer of drywall paper with it, and sometimes the whole sheet.
We remove glued-on mirrors as part of the job and tell you honestly what the wall behind it looks like before we quote the replacement. Sometimes it needs patching first. Better to know that at the estimate than on install day.
Vanity Mirror Installation Process
Mirror work looks simple from the outside. Cut a rectangle, hang it. In practice most of the job happens before anything is cut.
The measurement has to account for the vanity width, the sconce or bar light above it, the backsplash height, the tile edge if the wall is tiled, any outlet or switch plate in the field, and how plumb the wall actually is. Chicago has an enormous amount of pre-war housing stock, and in a hundred-year-old two-flat the wall is rarely flat enough to sit a large mirror tight against it without shimming.
Weight is the other half. A large mirror is heavy, and it has to be anchored into studs or proper blocking, not just into drywall anchors. We plan the mounting before we cut, which is why we come out to the house instead of quoting off a phone measurement.
Compare Mirror Types
We fabricate and install frameless vanity mirrors, beveled mirrors, backlit LED mirrors, and full wall mirrors for bathrooms and beyond. Here is how the four compare on the factors that matter most when choosing.
| Feature | Frameless | Beveled | Backlit LED | Full Wall |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Glass Thickness | 1/4 in | 1/4 in | 1/4 in, dual pane at light band | 1/4 in, seamed panels over standard sizes |
| Edge Finish | Flat polished | Angled bevel, 1/2 in to 1 in facet | Flat polished, edge lit | Flat polished at seams and perimeter |
| Electrical Needed | None | None | Yes, dedicated line or driver | None unless combined with backlighting |
| Cutouts for Fixtures | Yes, outlets and sconces | Limited, bevel restricts placement | Yes, coordinated with light band | Yes, planned across panel seams |
| Wall Mounting | Clips or J-bar | Clips or J-bar | Standoffs with wiring access | Full perimeter adhesive and clips |
| Cleaning and Upkeep | Easiest, single pane | Wipe bevel facet separately | Avoid liquid near light seam | Check seams for moisture over time |
| Best Suited To | Everyday vanities, any style | Traditional and formal bathrooms | Modern vanities, grooming and makeup | Small bathrooms, gyms, dance studios |
| Relative Cost | Lowest | Mid range | Highest | Varies with wall size |
Custom bathroom and vanity mirrors start at $299. Every mirror is measured on-site and fabricated to your vanity or wall, so the right choice depends on your bathroom rather than on the chart alone. Call (708) 808-7775 for a free on-site estimate.
Bathroom Mirrors for Chicago Homes
A lot of our mirror work in Chicago is not a single homeowner replacing one vanity mirror. It is a condo owner updating a unit before listing it, a landlord turning over an apartment, or a property manager handling several units in the same building.
We handle multi-unit work, including buildings where units share a similar footprint but the openings vary slightly from floor to floor. Each mirror still gets measured individually, because in older Chicago buildings the “identical” units almost never are.
Building access, freight elevator scheduling, and coordination with a management office are all normal parts of this work for us. Tell us the situation at the quote stage and we will plan around it.
Bathroom Mirror Pricing
Custom mirrors are priced by size, thickness, and edgework. A standard vanity mirror with a polished flat edge sits at the low end. Cost goes up with square footage, with beveled edges, with thicker glass on oversized panels, and with cutouts for outlets, sconces, or medicine cabinets. Removal of an old glued-on mirror and any wall repair it requires are quoted separately so you can see what you are paying for. You get one firm number after we measure on-site, and it does not change on install day.
From Measurement to Final Installation
We start with a free on-site measurement. We look at the wall, the vanity, the lighting, and the existing mirror if there is one, then talk through size and edge options. If a beveled edge would not read at all against your fixture and finish, we will say so rather than upsell it.
Once the quote is approved, your mirror is cut and the edges are finished to your specification. When it is ready we schedule installation. Most single mirrors go up in well under an hour, including removal of the old one. We take the old mirror with us and clean the site before we leave.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does a custom bathroom mirror cost in Chicago?
Custom bathroom and vanity mirrors start at $299. Where a specific job lands above that depends on the size, the edge finish, whether it is cut around outlets, sconces, or a light fixture, and any upgrades such as backlighting or an anti-fog feature.
A single rectangular mirror sized to a standard vanity with a polished edge sits at the low end. A large format mirror, a custom shape, an LED backlit mirror, or a mirror with multiple cutouts for wall fixtures sits higher, since those add fabrication steps beyond a straight cut and polish.
We do not quote mirrors over the phone. Every mirror is measured on site so the price reflects your actual vanity or wall. Estimates are free. Call or text (708) 808-7775 to schedule one.
How long does it take to get a custom mirror?
A custom mirror is cut and finished to order rather than pulled off a shelf, so turnaround depends on the edge work and cutouts involved. After the on-site measurement, glass is cut to size, the edges are ground and polished or beveled, and any cutouts for outlets or fixtures are machined before the mirror backing is applied.
A straightforward rectangular mirror with a standard polished edge and no cutouts moves through that process fastest. A custom shape, a beveled edge, backlighting, or multiple fixture cutouts adds time, since each of those is an extra fabrication step done by hand.
We give you a firm timeline at the measurement visit once we know the exact size and finish, rather than a general range that may not match your job. Call (708) 808-7775 and we can talk through what your mirror would involve.
Can you remove my old mirror that is glued to the wall?
Yes, this is a common part of a mirror replacement. Many older bathroom mirrors were installed with mirror mastic or construction adhesive directly on the drywall, which means removal takes more care than pulling off a mirror that was clipped or J-bar mounted.
A glued mirror has to come off in a way that protects you from the glass breaking during removal, since a fully adhered mirror does not release cleanly the way a clipped one does. Once it is off, the wall behind it is often left with adhesive residue, uneven paint, or drywall damage from where the mastic pulled at the surface, and that repair is a separate step from the mirror install itself.
We can remove the old mirror as part of the job and will let you know at the site visit if the wall is going to need patching or paint touch-up before the new mirror goes up, so there are no surprises on install day.
My mirror has black spots around the edges. Can it be fixed?
Those black spots are called desilvering, and they show up when moisture gets behind the mirror and breaks down the reflective silver backing, usually starting at the edges or anywhere the protective backing paint has been scratched or worn through. Bathroom mirrors are prone to this because of the humidity from showers and the tendency for water to sit at the bottom edge near a vanity.
Desilvering cannot be repaired. Once the silver backing has broken down in an area, that damage is permanent and the affected spots will not come back regardless of cleaning or treatment. It also does not stop on its own, so a mirror with a small amount of edge desilvering will typically continue to spread over time as moisture keeps reaching the damaged area.
Replacement is the only real fix. When we replace a mirror for this reason, we can talk through options that hold up better to bathroom humidity going forward, including a mirror with better edge sealing at install. Call (708) 808-7775 and we can take a look.
What is the difference between a polished edge and a beveled edge?
A polished edge is ground smooth and slightly rounded, then buffed to a clear finish so the edge of the glass is safe to the touch without drawing attention to itself. This is the standard, clean look for most vanity mirrors and works with almost any bathroom style.
A beveled edge is ground at an angle instead of rounded, cutting a flat facet into the border of the mirror that catches light and creates a visible line around the perimeter. It reads as more traditional or decorative, similar to the look of an antique framed mirror, and it adds a bit of dimension to a mirror that would otherwise sit flat against the wall.
Either is a fine choice on a mirror since there is no functional downside the way there can be on a shower door edge. It mostly comes down to whether you want the mirror to disappear into the wall or stand out as a design element. We can show you both in person at the measurement visit.
Can you cut a mirror around outlets or a light fixture?
Yes. Cutouts for outlets, switches, and wall mounted light fixtures are a routine part of custom vanity mirror work, especially in bathrooms where the electrical was placed assuming a smaller mirror or medicine cabinet rather than a full wall mirror.
Every cutout is measured and marked on site so it lines up exactly with the fixture location, and the hole is cut before the glass is finished, since glass cannot be modified once it is polished and installed. This is also why accurate measurement matters more on a mirror with cutouts than on a plain rectangle, small errors in a cutout location are much more noticeable than a slightly off overall size.
If your bathroom has a sconce, an outlet, or any other fixture the mirror needs to work around, mention it when you call so we can plan for it at the measurement visit rather than after the glass is cut.
Do you install mirrors outside the bathroom?
Yes. Custom mirror fabrication and install is not limited to bathrooms. Common requests include full length mirrors for bedrooms and closets, gym or home workout room wall mirrors, dance or exercise studio installations, dining room and entryway accent mirrors, and mirrored wall sections used to visually open up a smaller room.
The process is the same regardless of room: we measure the space on site, confirm the size, shape, and edge finish, and fabricate the mirror to fit. Mirrors outside a bathroom do not need to account for humidity and desilvering the way a shower area mirror does, but larger format mirrors like a full gym wall still need to be planned around wall backing and mounting method to be hung safely and securely.
Call (708) 808-7775 and tell us what room and what size you are picturing, and we can set up a time to measure.
