Repair Broken Frame Toilet Mirror Using Hot Glue

My toilet mirror frame was broken due to water humidity. I bought the mirror in 2013. I don’t want to replace it because the mirror itself is still in good condition. Only the bottom frame was detached.

Dry The Mirror

Firstly, I dried back of the mirror under the hot sun. It was bit humid at the back. At same time, I used hair dryer to ensure it was totally dried.

Apply Hot Glue

Then I switched on my hot glue gun for few minutes before start applying the hot glue gun.

Press a bit the hot glue gun to see whether the glue is ready or no.

Stick the frame quickly before the hot glue dried, hold the frame for few minutes to ensure the frame is stick to its body.

Apply again hot glue gun on any gaps that you see. Let it dried by itself.

Cost of Repair

Its cost me RM20 for the hot glue gun and RM4 for four hot glue sticks. I used one hot glue stick to repair the mirror.

Of course, I can reuse back my hot glue gun for other repairs. So for me, it just cost me RM1 to repair the mirror.
