Fixing glass hob

[Diogenes the Cynic]

I am the least handy of men so when my partner dropped a cup on the glass hob creating 1 inch hole in the corner I knew this would test my skills to the maximum.

A couple of weeks later and I'm all out of sawdust and rice and the glass hob is unbelievably still in need of repair.

Soooooo... Google tells me this needs to be repaired by an electrician. Do I buy a new hob separately? Or go through the company (whirlpool) who make the cooker and get them to replace everything?

I rent, it's not covered by insurance.

What's the best way to get this replaced? And by best obviously I mean easiest and cheapest.

And if anyone knows someone in Bristol who can do this then let me know.

Maybe on the off chance there's somebody like a windscreen repairer who does these things, but I doubt it.
But It's glass mate as in, fragile as...bummer I know
It's a whole thing replacement
It doesn't need a sparkie to repair it, might need one to replace / refit a newie depending how its connected
Your landlord might have insurance.
You may have to swallow the cost on this one

You wont be able to repair the glass but you can replace it. Get a professional to do it - ring the manufacturer or outlet whete it was purchased and they'll be able to put you in touch with a service in your area.

These are the days of equality mate (at least that's what radio 4 is constantly banging on about 24 hours a day while they entirely promote all things female and rip into males) so I suggest you get your partner* who did the damage to fix it.

*I'm assuming here your partner is a female - but what do I know? Could be male and you could be the female. You both could be female, you both could be male. You both could be transgender and lost count of where you started. I'm not judging. Just can't stand radio 4 anymore. Either way - partner fixes.

Rang a whirlpool repair partner,.

149.99 all in for one of repair, partner sent me the cash.

I paid on 10 per month direct debit, nice bit of fundage there for the weekend.

When life gives you lemons, get lemo.

Cheers mate but its getting replaced now, 150 for parts and labour is much better than I expected. Looking at just the cost of replacement sheet looked like more than that on the websites I searched so although bit ideal at least it's done. With my workload I really dont want to have to deal with this so it is what it is.

before you buy a new one, have you tried adjusting the vertical hold?
