Default How much for a piece of glass....

Being clumbsy I mananged to drop a piece of the glass from the front of my viv whilst cleaning it. So I now need to find a glazer to get a new bit cut.

Does anyone know how much roughly speaking for a 4mm thick piece of glass 450mm x 515mm??

It would need the sanded edge or whatever it is they do to blunt the sides.

you won't need the edges polished.
You're only replacing 1 piece of glass and the glass will have an overlap so use your polished piece for the inside. The snake or lizard won't have to come into contact with the unpolished edge saving you cash.
