Our Kingswells conversion retained the mirror while replacing the bath with a walk-in shower and refreshing the surroundings with panels and painted walls. Keeping a useful item can make sense when its position and condition suit the new room. The decision is easier to manage if the retained item appears in the design from the start.
For a similar refurbishment, mark anything you hope to keep on the measured drawings and confirm its dimensions and condition. Check where the new finishes will meet it and whether the neighbouring fittings change its usefulness. Agree whether it can stay in place or needs to come down during the work, and discuss how it will be handled. The mirror can then be a planned part of the finished basin area, with the new materials chosen around the position you are actually keeping.
