Looks like the hobs are connected to the glass rather than sit on the layer underneath, needs qualified electrician to be safe.

In reality it's no harder than wiring a plug - easy DIY job.

You buy a whole new hob, not just the ceramic part. A new hob is very easy to replace.

my partner put an oven tray provided with the oven on the ceramic hob

when this became fused together we had to detach the tray from the hob which caused glass to fly up at my partners face.

Was the oven tray made of glass ?
Is the broken glass from the tray or the hob ?
Is the tray also damaged ?

From what I read, you put a glass tray on a ceramic hob, and it melted. Would you have put that tray on an electric ring or a gas stove ?
I think the tray is fine for the hot air of an oven, but many say not to heat directly on a stove ; the low thermal conductivity gives a temperature variance which causes stress, and allows hot spots.

Even if that manual. Which we do have, doesn't mention anything of the sort? No guidance regarding it.

Your attempting to pass the blame????I bet manual doesn't say do not place face on surface either
Guidelines are if in doubt ask, inquire? had you done so then the buck passes you have not so it lies with you hard but life lesson learned,
