Where its broken, is it a part that gets hot? I did wonder about windscreen
repair material which has the same refractive index as glass.
Alternatively if there is space, some kind of trim to hide it.
Another thought, is it maybe worth claiming on contents insurance?

SWMBO junior accidentally dropped a bottle on our new Smeg induction hob and
it's now cracked across a corner. All is still functional, but it needs
replacing as it looks a mess.

I actually thought it would all have to be thrown away, as I didn't think it
would be possible to replace the glass, but after contacting Smeg, they put
me onto an authorised company who I contacted. They saids they'd be able to
repair it and the glass will cost £300+ with labour on top. Ouch !!

I've had a good look around the web at the usual spares site, but can't find
my model of hob for the replacement glass. Maybe it's too new.

My questions therefore a

Do you think only 'specialist/authorised' people would be able to source
spares? Any recommendations on how I can source the part?

It it an easy enough job for me to change the glass myself, assuming I can
get a replacement? Any specialised tools needed?

Thanks for any advice
