How do i fix it on the wall- the bathroom wall has ceramic tiles been there about 10 years. 2. How do i unsharpen the edges. ? do i take it to a galvanizer or can i use a small hand held electric disc grinder? Thanks heaps in advance.

Dont use too much pressure just let the drill bit do the work. Too much pressure will cause the tile to crack. Remember when you are looking at a location try and make sure the holes you are going to drill are away from the edges of the tiles to avoid breakage/chipping. Use the appropriate hole plug for the type of wall you have, brick,concrete,stud wall etc. You can also buy a crome 4 piece mirror mounting kit from Bunnings. It basically fits to the wall, you slide the bottom of the mirror into the 2 brackets on the bottom and the top brackets are spring loaded and you slide them up to allow the top of the mirror to fit in against the wall. The edges will need to be ground down by a glazier, unsure of the cost but check first as it may be cheaper to buy a new mirror with that part already done. I know mirror glass is quite cheap. I assume you have a bunnings store in whichever state you are in. Hope this helps. Slugger.. DIY, Home Maintenance & Repair Ditto 3M Claw, expensive but best thing I've used to date.
