Bathroom Mirror Replacement Cost in Hillsboro & the Portland Metro Area

If you’re staring at a cracked vanity mirror or finally ready to replace that dated builder-grade strip mirror, the first question is always: what’s this going to cost me? As a glazing company that has been cutting and installing mirrors in Hillsboro, Beaverton, and Forest Grove for over 25 years, we can give you a straight answer — along with the factors that push that number up or down.

The short version: most bathroom mirror replacements in the Portland metro area run $150 to $800 installed, with the average homeowner landing somewhere around $300. Custom or specialty work can go higher. Here’s how to know where your project falls.

What Drives Bathroom Mirror Replacement Cost

Mirror pricing isn’t random. Four factors account for nearly every price difference you’ll see from one quote to the next.

1. Mirror Type and Style

This is the biggest variable. A simple framed vanity mirror you hang over a single sink sits at the low end. A frameless, custom-cut piece that spans the full width of a double-vanity sits at the high end. Here’s a practical breakdown by type:

Price ranges sourced from HomeGuide, Angi, and HomeAdvisor. Portland area averages may vary slightly from national figures.

2. Size

Mirror glass is priced by the square foot. A 24″ x 36″ frameless mirror uses about 6 square feet of glass. A 60″ x 36″ full-vanity mirror uses 15 square feet — more than double the material cost. Labor scales with size too, since larger pieces require two installers and more wall reinforcement.

3. Removal of the Old Mirror

If you have a glued-on builder mirror — the kind installed directly to drywall with adhesive — removal adds $50–$150 to the job. These mirrors require careful work to avoid gouging the drywall behind them. If the wall needs patching before the new mirror goes up, that’s an additional step. We see this frequently in homes in Aloha and Beaverton built in the 1980s and 1990s.

4. Edge Treatment and Custom Cutting

A standard cut mirror has a raw edge — it’s typically hidden by a frame or a wall cleat. A frameless mirror needs a finished edge: polished, pencil-ground, or beveled. Beveled edges add the most cost because each facet requires additional machine time. If your bathroom has a non-standard wall width or an angled ceiling, custom cutting adds to the quote as well.

Frameless vs. Framed: Which Is the Better Value?

This comes up on almost every estimate call. The honest answer depends on what you’re optimizing for.

Framed mirrors are easier to source, easier to swap out later, and offer more design variety. If you want something that matches your vanity hardware or bathroom trim color, a framed mirror gives you that control. The downside: the frame adds visual bulk, and frames can warp or discolor over time in a humid bathroom.

Frameless mirrors look clean and contemporary, are easier to clean, and — when custom-cut to fit the full width of your vanity — make a small bathroom feel significantly larger. The tradeoff is cost: you’re paying for professional cutting and finished edges, which adds to the price. But in our experience, a well-installed custom frameless mirror outlasts any framed mirror and adds more perceived value when you sell.

When You Need a Glazier, Not a Handyman

For a standard hang-and-level job on a pre-framed mirror, a handyman is fine. But call a professional glazier when:

• You need custom cutting — standard sizes won’t fit your space
• You’re replacing a glued-on builder mirror (improper removal damages walls and sometimes the glass adjacent to it)
• The mirror is larger than 30″ x 40″ — heavy glass requires proper wall anchoring
• You want beveled or specialty edges
• The mirror is going over a tile wall where drilling needs to be precise

Martin Glass has handled these jobs in Hillsboro, Cornelius, and Forest Grove for over 25 years. We carry the right tools, know local wall construction, and warranty our work.

What’s Usually NOT Included in a Mirror Quote

A few line items that catch homeowners off-guard:

• Drywall repair — If the old mirror left holes or adhesive damage, patching is a separate cost
• Electrical work — Lighted mirrors that need a new outlet or switched circuit require an electrician
• Disposal — Mirror glass is not standard recycling; ask if your glazier includes disposal or whether there’s a fee
• Paint touch-up — After a glued mirror comes down, the wall behind it often needs repainting

Get Your Exact Price

The ranges above give you a solid baseline, but your actual cost depends on your mirror dimensions, the condition of your current wall, and the edge finish you want. The fastest way to get a real number is to use our free online estimator — no phone call required to get started.
