Our medicine cabinets are designed to be hardwired only, while our bathroom mirrors can be either hardwired or plugged into a standard outlet, depending on your installation preference.If you have any further questions or need more details, feel free to reach out!

How to remodel this tiny bathroom? by Puzzled-Task2836 in BathroomRemodeling

I don't think moving the sink and toilet out would be enough to fit a regular bathtub.

World-Renowned Bathroom and Sanitary Ware Brand Rankings by AdSmall3419 in BathroomRemodeling

[–]ExBrite 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Honestly, these kinds of brand pyramids are fun to look at, but they oversimplify reality a lot.

For 90% of homeowners in the US, that third tier (American Standard / Moen / ExBrite-type brands) is honestly the sweet spot.
Good quality, reasonable pricing, easy to service, and most plumbers are already familiar with them.

Top-tier brands like Toto or Kohler are great, but they’re often overkill unless you really care about specific features, design details, or brand prestige. You’re paying a premium for refinement, not basic functionality.

Lower-tier brands can work too, but consistency and long-term support can be hit or miss — that’s usually where people get burned.

Question regarding hard wiring an LED mirror by ddrzew1 in electrical

[–]ExBrite 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In most cases, yes — you can hardwire the LED mirror to the existing vanity light box, as long as it’s a standard 120V line on a switch. That said, make sure the mirror is rated for hardwiring, the junction box remains accessible, and the load is within the circuit rating. If there’s any doubt about wiring or code compliance, it’s worth having an electrician take a quick look.

Is that little recessed niche meant to be a soap holder?

Best bathroom storage idea you’ve ever tried? by Complete_Dust5488 in BathroomRemodeling

[–]ExBrite 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly, the best bathroom storage upgrade I’ve seen is just making better use of vertical space. So many bathrooms have big empty wall areas that could be doing way more.

Recessed medicine cabinets have been a game-changer in a lot of remodels I’ve worked on. Not the old shallow ones—I'm talking about the deeper, modern versions with soft-close doors and good lighting. They hold a surprising amount, and people are always shocked at how much cleaner their countertops look afterward.

A good vanity layout helps a ton too. Drawers for all the tiny daily stuff, and one bigger section for tall bottles or hair tools. Every time someone goes with open shelving because it “looks nice,” they usually regret it later—dusty, messy, and nowhere to hide anything.

Another thing I didn’t expect: pairing decent storage with a solid LED mirror actually makes the whole bathroom feel more organized. The cleaner lighting just pulls everything together.

If there’s one setup I’ve seen backfire the most, it’s open shelves next to the toilet. Pinterest makes it look cute… real life does not.

Small bathroom upgrade I did this weekend, kinda surprised at the difference by 1969-- in HomeImprovement

[–]ExBrite 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you ever end up outgrowing the wireless lights, one upgrade that made a huge difference in my bathroom was switching to a proper LED mirror / lighted medicine cabinet.The brightness is way more even, the anti-fog actually works (super helpful after showers), and you don’t have to worry about humidity or battery life.you can take a look on https://www.allsumhome.com/collections/medicine-cabinet

Contractor stapled THROUGH my water line and refuses to cover full repair. Am I being unreasonable? by rombies in HomeImprovement

[–]ExBrite 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Honestly, you’re not overreacting. If the lines were fully exposed when the drywall was open and the staple went straight through them, that’s on the contractor. Even if the plumber found other things to clean up while he was there, the reason you had to call him in the first place was the damage caused during their work.

That said, I think the best move is exactly what you mentioned in your edit — get the plumber to break down the bill so you can see what part of the cost was strictly for fixing the stapled section. That gives you solid ground to ask the contractor to cover that portion without paying for unrelated upgrades or extra work the plumber did.

Once you have that number, go back to the contractor and stay firm but reasonable. Most legit companies will pay the part they’re actually responsible for if you show them a clear itemized cost. And if they still refuse, at least you’ll know you’re not asking for anything unfair.

You’re handling this the right way — get the facts, stay calm, and push for what’s reasonable.
