wherever you ordered it from should replace it if you received it that way - otherwise you will have to replace the broken glass with new glass -

Yes, go back to the place where you ordered it from and explain your problem, damaged merchandise is unacceptable. Take pictures and be careful so you don't get cut. You paid for a complete whole mirror, not a damaged 1.
The beveled edges are a thinner cut of the mirror to give it a special look, therefore they are more fragile. It diffracts the light differently and gives it a more elegant look without a frame.
They should replace the mirror without charge to you, so, you don't have to return it.
I would insist it be replaced. You shouldn't have to repair a new mirror.
Can you try sanding it? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SIol9Z1b1rQ
Otherwise, maybe you could build a frame around it to cover the edges?
Another idea is mirror paint, if you could caulk it somehow.
If it were delivered shattered, I would ask for a replacement, as the only way you can fix edges, is to take it to a window/glass place to cut down which is extremely expensive. Or put a wooden frame around it, and then you would not see the bevel.
Yes request a replacement mirror. I am not sure a repair is diy friendly. Covered with a frame a possibility.
Hi! Unless you work with glass all the time, you won't have the tools you need. Glass and mirror shops locally may be able to help. Good luck!
Hello Kathy,
Add a wooden frame or plastic frame to cover them. If you don't like that idea, use Gaffer tape - it comes sin many colours!
Did you just purchase this? If so, reach out to the company and explain that it broke, they’ll replace it. It’s not an easy fix unless you cover over it.
You can cover it up with a frame. There are lots of posts here: Home and Garden DIY Ideas | Hometalk
