Mastic suitable for gluing a mirror to wall.

Hi I have a bathroom mirror that I need to stick directly to the wall (set into tiles)

Is there a specialist mastic for this job ?

I know that silicone will damage the mirror surface at the back of the glass.

Gripfill and a few other mastics list materials they can be used with but mirror IS NOT on the list, so I'm assuming they wouldn't be up to the job.

Any experts out there know something that will do the job and leave the mirror coating in-tact. ?

First off qazxsw think safety first,
If you install the mirror without a safety vinyl applied to the back of the mirror
Chances are if it is not fully bedded in and you happen to land hard onto it for what ever reason it will shatter showering the area in mirror fragments

Apply safety vinyl to the back of the mirror
Make sure what you’re sticking the mirror to is even sound and dry surface free from grease
Apply Wurth Mirror Adhesive or another good brand to the back of the mirror in 7mm bead strips in 50mm from all edges and then 10cm apart vertically
If you are fitting the mirror after tiling has finished temporally tape mirror to tiles
I use masking tape but remove it the next day as it’s a bitch to get off later
You don’t say how large the mirror is as larger mirrors would need extra fixings
