Can I repair a broken mirror myself?

• <div><p>You can buy DIY mirror repair kits to carry out minor repairs on mirrors, but we don’t recommend it. Repairing and resilvering mirrors is a delicate process that involves caustic chemicals and demands a high level of precision for positive results. The materials will likely cost over <b>$100</b>, meaning you won’t be saving that much over hiring a professional. Plus, since mirror repair and resilvering are easy to mess up, you might pay more to hire a repair pro after your DIY attempt. As such, we recommend hiring a mirror repair expert from the start.</p></div>

Q: Why did my wall mirror suddenly crack on its own?

• <div><p>While finding your mirror cracked can be spooky, there are actually many logical and common reasons why this happens. First, the mirror may have been mounted unevenly in the first place. Over time, poor mounting leads to stress points that will eventually cause a mirror to crack. Other common causes of a mirror spontaneously cracking include dramatic temperature shifts, strong thunder or a loud crash somewhere in the distance, exposure to heat and sunlight, and an uneven wall in your home. It's also possible that your mirror had a manufacturing defect or microscopic cracks that occurred during<a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-much-glass-cutting-cost.htm"> glass cutting</a> or handling that eventually caused it to shatter.</p></div>

Q: How do you make cut glass not sharp?

• <div><p>The easiest way for DIYers to smooth the edges of cut glass is to use sandpaper. Wearing protective gloves, gently sand the sharp edges smooth using low-grit sandpaper and working up to high-grit sandpaper. You can also use a multitool with a rotating sandpaper cylinder to make quicker work of the project.</p></div>

Q: Can deep scratches be removed from glass?

• <div><p>The methods outlined here are intended for surface scratches&mdash;ones that don&rsquo;t cut into the glass very deeply.
