Hi ericsbrother, thanks for that. We're keeping the wear and tear and betterment cards close to our chest for the moment to see what the LL comes back with. We were in there for about 18 months and the professional cleaners we hired at the end of the tenancy actually restored the surface of the mirror to a condition better than when we moved in. The original appears to have been fixed in place with glue as there's no visible fixing holes so we're not quite sure how they're intending on replacing it. I've attached a photo from when we moved out so you can see for yourself. If they do decide to pursue the claim then we'll certainly put the tax liability point to them so thanks for making us aware of that, it's much appreciated. Hopefully I'll be able to report back with some positive news soon. Thanks again.

Thanks Steve__M, I think we're going to wait and see what kind of figure they come back with. If we're talking less than £100, bearing in mind that they couldn't charge us for the full cost of a new one, then we'd pay as a gesture of goodwill whilst not admitting liability. The mirror is definitely in a weird place, being at about chest height to ceiling height right next to the shower that's over the bath. The shower head sprays part of its jet onto the mirror and the crack has formed at precisely this point. We deduced that that 's what has caused it as we definitely haven't hit it with anything and there's no impact marks anywhere. The Deposit is with a TDS so we do have their conciliation route plus the Landlords, of course, have to return any amount not in dispute so at least we have that. We're of the opinion that it's a slightly dangerous place to have a mirror of that size and that repairs should've been attempted when we first reported it and the crack was a few inches long. I guess we'll see what they come back with.

Hi, We've just moved out of a flat and the final inspection flagged up a cracked mirror. The mirror is right next to the shower head over the bath and is hit by hot and cold water repeatedly. A crack formed, unsurprisingly, and we reported it about 8 months ago. Crack now covers the bottom corner of a 2' x 2' mirror and he wants to take it out of our deposit. We're claiming that we didn't wilfully damage it and that it shouldn't have been there in the first place as this would've happened eventually. Also, it could've been repaired when we first reported it. Were do we stand, please?
