Medicine Cabinet Add-Ons: Mirror Doors, LED Lighting, Outlets, and Removal Lines
The cabinet price is the line shoppers see first. The layer on and around it is everything the door, the lighting, and the wall carry beyond the box itself: mirrored-door styles and replacement doors, LED lighting and demister features, interior outlet and USB hookup lines, extra shelving, old-cabinet removal and disposal, and the drywall patch and paint lines a swap can leave behind. Published 2026 figures price that layer line by line, and on a lighted cabinet it can exceed the price of a basic cabinet outright.

Mirrored-door styles and replacement doors
| Door line | Published 2026 range |
|---|---|
| Single mirrored door, simple cabinet | $55-$300 |
| 3-way tri-view door, installed | $300-$550 |
| Surface 3-way, materials plus labor | $320-$540 |
| Replacement door alone | priced per door on the quote |
The door is the priced face of the cabinet. Angi reporting puts a simple single-door cabinet at $55 to $300, while HomeGuide figures put a 3-way mirror at $300 to $550 installed. A replacement door prices per door on the quote rather than inside a cabinet band -- why a door-only quote and a whole-cabinet quote can sit far apart. These figures sit on top of the mounting totals on the hub guide.
LED lighting and demister features
| Lighting line | Published 2026 range |
|---|---|
| Lighted LED smart cabinet tier | $400-$800 |
| Simple cabinet, for contrast | $55-$300 |
| Matching light fixtures, incl. electrical connection | $250-$650 |
| Demister feature tier | priced inside the lighted cabinet band |
The lighting layer prices as a tier jump, not a small adder. Angi reporting puts smart LED models at $400 to $800 against $55 to $300 for simple cabinets, and demister features price inside that lighted tier rather than as a separate line on most quotes. Where the lighting sits outside the cabinet instead, HomeGuide reporting puts matching light fixtures at $250 to $650 including the electrical connection. Neither line appears on the mounting comparison on the recessed vs. surface mount cost guide.
Interior outlet and USB hookup lines, and shelving
| Interior line | Published 2026 range |
|---|---|
| Outlet hookup, inside a fixture connection band | $250-$650 |
| Interior outlet or USB line, standalone | priced per hookup on the quote |
| Extra shelving | priced per shelf on the quote |
| Magnifying interior mirror tier | priced inside the cabinet band |
Power inside the cabinet is the most conditional line in this guide. Where a hookup rides with a fixture project, it prices inside the $250 to $650 connection band above; as a standalone line, it is quoted per hookup. Extra shelving prices per shelf, and interior mirror tiers price inside the cabinet band rather than apart.
Old-cabinet removal, disposal, and wall finish lines
| Closing line | Published 2026 range |
|---|---|
| Debris disposal, per cabinet job | $57-$65 |
| Disposal fee, general reporting | $25-$75 |
| Drywall patch, small | $100-$200 |
| Drywall patch, large, with paint | $250-$500 |
| Paint on a patched area | $75-$150 |
Homewyse assembly pricing carries a debris disposal line at $57 to $65 per cabinet job, and handyman reporting puts a disposal fee at $25 to $75. A swap that changes the footprint leaves wall behind it: patch pricing runs $100 to $200 small and $250 to $500 large with paint. Removal of the old cabinet itself prices per cabinet on the quote where a contract names it.
Neighbour lanes carry a different hidden-cost layer
Every line here belongs to one mirrored wall cabinet and the wall behind it. A bathroom remodel spreads its hidden costs across a whole room of fixtures and trades, a bathroom vanity carries plumbing hookup and top lines a wall cabinet never names, and a towel warmer carries a single power lane for a heated rail. The medicine-cabinet lane is the bathroom purchase where the priced layer on a single cabinet -- door, lighting, outlets, and the wall finish behind it -- is itemized, conditional, and easy to miss in a lump sum.

Frequently asked questions
How much does the lighted tier add to a medicine cabinet?
Angi reporting puts smart LED models at $400-$800 against $55-$300 for simple cabinets, so the lighted tier alone can exceed a basic cabinet price. Demister features price inside the lighted band on most quotes.
What do matching light fixtures cost?
HomeGuide reporting puts matching light fixtures at $250-$650 including the electrical connection. That band is separate from the cabinet band and from the $60-$80 installation labor line.
What does removing the old cabinet cost?
Homewyse pricing carries debris disposal at $57-$65 per cabinet job, and general reporting puts a disposal fee at $25-$75. Removal of the old unit itself prices per cabinet on the quote where a contract names it.
What do patch and paint lines run after a swap?
Handyman reporting puts a small drywall patch at $100-$200 and a large patch with paint at $250-$500, with paint on a patched area at $75-$150 where it prices apart from the patch line.
Do these add-ons appear on vanity or towel warmer quotes?
Not in this form. A vanity carries plumbing and top lines, and a towel warmer carries one power lane for a heated rail. This layer belongs to one mirrored wall cabinet, its door and lighting, and its wall.
