Don't let on you want it for a Yacht. The price will double.

 

 

That is true for yacht cleaning and polishing potions. A quick route to easy money = decant bottles of Tesco Value washing up detergent into bottles labelled "Pro Deck Foam - GRP compatible cleaner" at £25 a time.

I've a few ammo boxes here I'll likely never use. All different sizes.

 

My brother used to get them for me when I was a kid. Started off with spent shell casings! A bit of sentimental value maybe but nowt else. The 5 gallon fuel can though I do use.

Basildons almost on the way to you. That could be a very useful trip..... 

Are you still looking for a mirror?

I'll dig them out sometime. 

 

Is the intent to refinish boxes you might get or are you one of those arty farty types who likes to "preserve the patina"?

I'm the arty farty type that thinks refinishing sounds like far too much hard work.

Yep. Has to be 700mm wide, no more no less. 700x700, 800 or 900 would work.

 

Tbh just haven't got around to finding one.

What type of style and finish, @Onoff?

 

That is actually about the size for a above bowl medicine / makeup cupboard.

Just a plain mirror. I've a back box there ready as I was just going to put a demister pad on the rear.

 

For about the width of the sink it's an outside wall, brick cavity. So behind the white painted wall I've 2" battens with pir in between. With hindsight I'd have brought that studded wall out further and fitted a flush cabinet.

Go and have it cut,

Check at Ikea, where I am currently looking. They always have good value mirrors; I have one of theirs in my hall.

 

650 x 650 at £17

Have you considered a bigger one extending over the bath, or two separates - they currently have one that is just under 80cm x 2m for about £90.

Anyhoo, here is one from Ideal Standard that looks good. May have better price elsewhere.

I wonder if a big, long one over the bath might work well, and a 600mm round one over the whb.

Can’t think of anything worse than a big mirror over the bath ?

We went to view a house, years ago, that had a large mirror above the bed, on the ceiling in the main bedroom.  The bed was covered in black satin sheets.  Even the estate agent showing us around was giggling a bit.
