    Not unheard of and not sure how you would repair it.
    Sometimes the prints are rather aggressively stuck and the glass can chip/flake.

    A replacement is the only permanent solution I know of.

    I had exactly the same problem but I was told that the warantee only covers the glass bed during shipping. I filled the holes with a two part heat-resistant epoxie and then sanded them. But now other bits are coming off - only using PLA with light PVA glue mixture.

    I bought a new bed ... Installed kapton tape on old and new bed ... Going to replace my old bed when chips get unbearable.
    I noticed aggressive use of stick glue (in my case) is usually the culprit.
