I'd go with 1/4 inch acrylic, cut to size, silicone the underside, press out air, then silicone the corners. Get it cut as close to the exact size as possible, but not to close that you have to force it in and cause more damage. The bottom is just cracked right, not broken?

a decent picture of the damage would help.

ide get a piece of glass cut large enough to totally cover the damage and silicone it in place with aquarium safe silicone.
