I am restoring a old mirror with a oak frame and the mirror needs some
touch up of the "silver nitrate" (?) on the back side and I found out
from local glass shop that this would be very expensive to redo the
mirror. My question, is there any thing on the market that will fix a
little spot here and there on the mirror?

No, unless you don't care if it matches/looks "repaired", you'll need
to resilver the whole thing. See if you can find "The Mirror Book" by
Jay Newman (or something similar) in your library.

It looks like this mirror will retain the appearence of an antique.
