There may come a time when you want to update or refresh your bathroom. And while it’s possible to remove and replace your mirror frame yourself, the key is taking care to protect both the mirror and the frame during the process.

Because MirrorMate frames adhere directly to the mirror using professional-grade 3M tape, they stay securely in place for years. However, this same strength means removal requires patience and the right tools. Understanding how to remove a mirror frame safely will help you avoid damage and prepare the surface for a clean reinstallation.

Before you begin, grab a friend to help support the frame during removal. This ensures even pressure as you detach it. Using dental floss or fishing line, you can gently separate the foam tape from the mirror. Work slowly—letting the line “saw” through the adhesive layer—until the frame releases. Any leftover tape or residue can be cleaned off with a scraper or a product like Goof Off, Goo Gone, or another citrus-based cleaner.

Often overlooked, knowing how to replace a mirror frame is just as important. Once the old adhesive is removed, you can prepare your frame to be reinstalled. Our team can provide replacement tape and placement corners for a secure fit.

With a little care and attention, it’s simple to change a mirror frame and give your bathroom a fresh, finished look that feels brand new.
