I am such an idiot! How do I get this cabinet fixed?

I absentmindedly closed a bathroom cabinet the wrong way, and the shaving mirror attachment bashed into the other cabinet and cracked the mirror (pics attached). I feel like a prize idiot. The house is in the process of being sold so I need to get it fixed asap, but I don't have a clue what to do / who to ask! Is it likely to be possible to remove the rest of the mirror on that side and stick a new one on? Or does the whole door need replacing?

if you can take the door off at the hinges (like a kitchen cabinet) you could take the whole door to a glazers shop and ask them to fix it. they can probably get the old mirror off and put a new one on.

make sure you keep the screws & hinges safe so you can reassemble later.

One crack on something easily replaceable is not going to put off any buyer who is not an idiot.

Thanks @parietal, that's really helpful - I'll have a look at the hinges.

@KievLoverTwo we have a buyer who offered on the house before I cracked the mirror, and they are paying full asking price, so I'd feel cheeky leaving it as it is.
