You should be able to find specialist glaziers. There are plenty of them
here. Other than that any shop that sells building materials should be
able to get you what you want.
Take a piece of the glass to shop what you want and take exact
measurements. They should cut you a piece the right size there and then.
The price should only be a few dollars. For a few dollars more go to an
aquarium shop and buy some silicon sealant. As long as you have
somewhere flat to work it is easy to do the repair.
