I have this nice 58"x37" mirror in my bathroom. When I moved in it had been cracked somehow. Its about 6-8" long, starting at a corner and runs vertcally. So, only about 4" width wise.

Since, 99% of the mirror is perfectly fine I'd hate to have to replace the entire thing because the crack very obvious in the mirror. I'm not sure what can be done.

Is is possible to cut a mirror? If so, who would do such a thing?

Thanks,
Shawn

Your local glass shop can cut it. You must be very careful in handling the mirror since the crack will continue to run if pressure is exerted at that point.

Yeah, I believe most hardware stores will cut glass also.
