Asking more out of hope than expectation, really, since the price of replacements is eye-watering. Has anyone repaired a cracked stove glass from a domestic gas fire? Ours has developed a crack across it. No-ones owning up to throwing anything at it, so it might just have been the heat getting to it after all these years.

You must use the proper glass - eye watering or not You risk much more than eye watering if you use normal glass.

Thanks for the warning, but I'm not yet insane enough to use normal glass. I was just wondering if there was some miracle adhesive that could bond glass, and withstand high temperatures. I'm not really expecting to hear of such a thing, but it costs nothing to ask. I'd hate to find out /afterwards/ that I could have saved some money by doing such-and-such.

You might try a company like

, who will provide cut-to-order replacement glass windows which will likely be cheaper (though AFAIK that outfit deals with solid fuel stoves and maybe they are subject to GasSafe rules about this stuff?
Sure - I had a coal-burning stove with glass windows about 4" square, and one fell out and broke in two. I glued the two halves together with standard Araldite (NOT the crappy rapid stuff) and it was fine - in fact outlived the stove which had to be scrapped several years later.
Have you tried Googling for different suppliers to get the lowest price? Plenty here:
