Dirty great crack in the sliding mirror wardrobe

sundin13

Hello,

In our bedroom, we've got a huge sliding mirrored built in wardrobe thing. No idea how, (guessing there may have been kids involved), but theres now a three foot long crack in the middle panel.

Just wanted to know - would a glazing company be able to replace the mirror in the door, or will I have to have a whole new door?

And how much is a mirror door 8ft by 4ft or so going to cost at this oh so very cheap time of year!!!!

Thanks

Do you have accidental damage on your contents insurance as if so you should be able to claim on that?

If you don't have accidental cover, it would probably be more cost effective for you to source a new door from one of the diy stores such as Homebase or B&Q rather than trying to get it reglazed. Or another option is to look on Ebay as people are often selling mirrored doors from wardrobes they've removed from bedrooms.

Sadly, as the prime suspects are 3 & 5 it'll probably be 7 years before they get any pocket money anyway!

I'll try the shop they came from, and see whether its worth an insurance claim.

thanks all.

OOOPPS!!

If you can find the supplier/brand that'll be best option.

A glass shop might be pretty dear - even cheaper to think about replacing the doors with Stanley range. Don't appear to be on offer at moment anywhere, 'cos we're looking for some!

& when you do get sorted, don't scrap the old mirror. If you can keep it in big pieces, a glass shop will trim it into smaller mirrors & smooth the edges, to at least get a couple of extra mirrors, to use somewhere else!
