Hi dear,
My bathroom mirror self damaged by water. Could please help me, what can I do now?
Welcome to the Bunnings Workshop community @ABU25. It's fantastic to have you join us, and many thanks for your question about repairing a shelf.
Just to clarify—has the shelf actually swollen or warped from the water damage, or is it just showing cosmetic issues like cracks?
If it’s just surface damage and the shelf is still structurally sound, you might be able to fill any cracks with a timber filler, sand it back once it’s dry, and then repaint it with a moisture-resistant paint. However, if the shelf has swollen, warped or feels soft to the touch, it’s likely beyond repair and would be best replaced.
If you're unsure about removing and replacing it yourself, a local handyman or carpenter could assist with the swap.
Please let me know if you have any questions.
