The cost of installing an LED bathroom mirror is the mirror price plus fitting, electrical work and any wall finishing. Replacing a mirror beside an existing suitable supply is a different job from running new wiring through a tiled wall. Choose the mirror first, then price the work around its actual dimensions and connection position.
A useful published local benchmark is £80–£160 for illuminated or demister mirror fitting on AI Handyman’s Brighton price guide, with materials itemised separately. This is one provider’s guide, not a UK-wide fixed rate. The examples below show how to turn a fitting allowance into a practical shopping budget.
Three mirror budgets to start with
On a small screen, swipe the table to compare all columns.
| Available mirror | Mirror price | Illustration with £80–£160 fitting |
|---|---|---|
| 40 × 50 cm frontlit mirror — £89 | £89 | £169–£249 before additional materials or making good |
| 60 × 80 cm front-and-back-lit mirror — £129 | £129 | £209–£289 before additional materials or making good |
| 80 cm round mirror with Bluetooth speakers and clock — £199 | £199 | £279–£359 before additional materials or making good |
These totals are simple budget examples: mirror price plus the published local fitting range. The fitting allowance is not a quote for these particular models. New cables, difficult access or repairs to tiles and plaster add to the job. Free UK delivery means there is no delivery charge to add to the mirror price.

What makes installation cost more?
- A new power route: running or moving the supply adds work compared with using a suitable existing connection.
- Tiled or delicate walls: drilling, specialist fixings and making good need to be included in the scope.
- Size and weight: a larger mirror may need two people and stronger support; a cabinet adds depth and door clearance.
- Removal of the old mirror: an adhesive-fixed mirror can leave a different repair job from one on brackets.
- Access and timing: parking, awkward wall access and separate return visits can affect the price.
Before ordering, use our guide to choosing bathroom mirror dimensions. A well-proportioned mirror often delivers more value than an oversized model that needs extra wall work.
Plug-in or hardwired: choose a suitable connection
Our bathroom mirrors support plug-in or hardwired power. A plug-in option can simplify the connection where a suitable, correctly positioned socket already exists; it does not make every bathroom socket or shaver point suitable. Have a registered electrician handle fixed wiring and confirm the supply and bathroom position. Do not run an extension lead into the bathroom.
Electrical Safety First’s bathroom guidance explains the need for appropriate electrical installation in wet rooms. For planning, see our LED mirror cable guide and bathroom mirror connection guide; your installer should specify the actual cable and protection.
A battery-operated or rechargeable makeup mirror can be a convenient dressing-table alternative when you need close-up lighting without fixed wiring. It serves a different purpose from a wall-mounted illuminated bathroom mirror, so compare the placement and size rather than assuming the two are interchangeable.
Pay for the features you will enjoy every day
For a softer evening mood, the round backlit mirror with memory adds a halo around the wall. The elongated oval mirror offers dimming and anti-fog with a curved silhouette. If you want music while getting ready, the 80 cm round Bluetooth mirror brings speakers and a clock into the same wall space.
The classic bathroom mirror collection is another route when you already have good vanity lighting. Choose the mirror around the job you need it to do, then spend the rest of your budget where it improves the room most.
A cabinet adds storage as well as a reflection
A mirror cabinet can free the basin area from toiletries, but its extra depth, loaded weight and door opening need space. The double-door illuminated cabinet previously featured here is currently unavailable, so it is a design reference rather than an available recommendation. Browse the current mirror cabinet range for an alternative and include cabinet fitting in your installer’s quote.
How to keep the job straightforward
Send the installer the product link, mirror dimensions, a photo of the wall and the location of the existing supply. Ask for mounting, electrical connection, materials, testing and any making good to be included in the price. If you are already having a fan or bathroom light fitted, scheduling the mirror for the same visit can avoid a separate call-out.
Plan the cable route before finishing the wall. Our guides to hanging an LED mirror and concealing mirror cables neatly help you discuss the finished look with your installer. Keep the mirror accessible for future servicing rather than sealing away components that may need attention.
Installation cost FAQs
Is anti-fog an extra installation charge?
The demister is integrated into the anti-fog models listed here, so you do not need to buy a separate demister pad. The installer still needs to mount and connect the complete mirror.
Does Bluetooth make the electrical connection more expensive?
Bluetooth itself is not a separate household wiring connection. The overall mirror installation, access and any supply work determine the fitting cost.
Can I order the mirror before arranging installation?
Yes. Choose a size that fits, share its details with your installer and inspect the delivery before installation. This helps resolve fit or transit-damage issues before fitting starts.
