Hi Everyone.
I have removed a broken extractor fan from our bathroom window. The issue is that the fan is overly large and to be fitted a 7 inch (diameter) hole was cut in to the window. I would ideally like to replace it with a smaller fan and was wondering what my options are besides replacing the window pane. Is there a way to make the hole smaller? Or is there a mounting plate I could use to cover the hole?
Any advice would be gratefully appreciated.
Thanks

I don't imagine any form of adapter kit is available, if such a thing exiasted it would consist of 2 'plates' big enough to cover the hole, seals to seal the plates to each side of the glass and hole(s) to fit the new fan. Personally I'd either source a bigger replacement or replace the pane, the glazier/supplier will cut the new hole.
