I presume there is proper purchase for the screw threads behind the tile. A wall stud, for example. Here's my recommendation since this is a fail times two. Have them remove the bracket and drill an oversized hole the depth of the tile, the thinset, and if the backer board is frangible or compressible, the depth of the backer board as well. In a typical situation that might be 1/4" + 1/8" + 1/2", or 7/8" depth total. So drill a hole 3/8" in diameter (or whatever diameter your sleeve is) and 7/8" depth (or as needed per the explanation above). Insert a metal sleeve bushing into that oversized hole. The goal is for the sleeve to be at least flush with or just slightly proud of the face of the tile. Here's an example. Not the perfect size or proportion, but a quick grab off the internet to define "metal sleeve": Aluminum or copper is fine, if steel I recommend spot priming them for corrosion protection. Install the sleeve into the oversized hole. Then install the hinge bracket. The sleeve will transfer the compression forces from the hinge brackets directly to the studs, bypassing the fragile tile, grout, and backer board. Just an idea.

Depends on what look you're going for - contemporary? Then spend the $ now on frameless doors and get them installed. More traditional? Then do a shower curtain(s) and frame your mirrors. It's not that hard to do (I did it with a huge jigsaw puzzle in ds's nursery) after the mirrors are on the wall, as long as there's room. Only thing is you want to paint the back of the trim black so you don't see reflection of the wood where it overlaps the mirror. A mirror will be thicker than the jigsaw puzzle, so you'll need to route a channel in the back of the trim pieces where it overlaps the mirror, or else the outer edge of the trim won't lie flat against the wall. If you don't have the carpentry skills to DIY, ask your finish carpenter to do it - I'm sure it'll be a lot less than $200 per mirror (42" x ? each). Do you have pics of bathrooms so far (vanities, sinks, faucets, lighting installed?) so we can see what style is? Of course, oceanna's solution is much easier to DIY and looks so pretty (but more casual/contemporary). As always, oceanna, your painting is beautiful! I'd love to see your whole bathroom!

House looks great in the realtor pics. It looks immaculately clean and everything is in order with room to spare. I do have to ask, are you leaving the TV pole as is for showings, or were these pics taken before removal of that setup? If you've not already removed the TV pole, I would re-think doing so. While I realize your asking price is reasonable, every buyer has a budget. I can't imagine any potential buyer not viewing this as a project. When we moved into our home years ago it needed updating. However, with DH and I both working full time, we didn't want to buy anything that had an issue that needed to be dealt with upon move-in. Pointing this out because so many posters have commented about the TV pole. Repairing the ceiling is something that would probably be relatively easy for you to do or have done. A potential buyer may not see it that way. Also, buyers, especially those with young children, don't want to move in with an immediate project on their list. Your house isn't a handyman's special. With so many homes on the market right now, I wouldn't want yours to sit longer because of something that may be a viewed as a project when the rest of the house is move in ready. For me, that would qualify as needing immediate attention. JMHO Whatever you decide, I wish you the best of luck for a quick sale!

I wouldn't do it all at once, it won't get done all at once anyway. You have plenty of time. Start with the smaller projects. If you are working with a contractor who hasn't proven himself, and he doesn't work for you, then you find out on a small project not all at once. They can work one project at a time. Some contractors like to tear up a whole house at once, so then they are guaranteed the entire job. It might be in your own best interest to contract one complete project at a time. lets say you contract for projects a, b, c, d, e, and f. The contractor might pull out walls and counters in a, b, and c (maybe not have to do walls on e and f) so he goes around the house doing a little here a little there and nothing ever seems to be complete and you start losing track of your budget. But if he does a, then b, then c, then d -probably take as much time, the house will be messy for the same amount of time, etc, and you can decide better what and when you want the next contract (phase) of the reno to be signed off. These shouldn't all be big messy projects, except the master bath. Start with the one that is the most important for you. If I was working with someone new (doesn't matter if he's a friend of a friend or a brother in law of my sister in law that I had over for Thanks Giving that one time, If he has never done work for me he is new and untested) I would start with the powder room, it would give me a good idea of the level of work that could be done, and if the PR is a tiny bit wonky, it won't matter as much as other projects. Then I would go with the master bathe, because that will probably cost the most and it might not be where I would want to cut corners. The other projects are done in what ever order, writing a new contract for each and every individual project.
