are you in the USA? Please clarify
the advice given on here will be in the context of UK laws and dispute resolution processes. I have no idea how the USA do disputes
What makes you think that's a possibility? the OP mentiones prices in sterling, which makes it highly unlikely that there is any connection to the USA.0 -
are you in the USA? Please clarify
The OP could be an American living in the UK!
UK (especially London, where I live) obviously has many people living here from USA, Canada, Australia, China, etc....
Regarding the question, absolutely dispute it.'Wall Street is the only place that people ride to in a Rolls Royce to get advice from those who take the subway'

I have to say that is quite severely scratched. I have never seen a ceramic hob scratched like that. Is it the only part of it like that? If it was normal wear and tear I would expect it to be over the whole of the hob.
Anyone I know with a ceramic hob actually lifts the pan to move it, it is only reasonable to do that, even on my wooden floor I lift things rather than dragging them.What is this life if, full of care, we have no time to stand and stare0 -
That is more than just wear and tear, it lasted the first 8 years of being installed and used without suffering from the damage, in the two years since OP has been there it has become significantly damaged and the amount of scratches probably now affect the performance of the hob.
I'm not saying that the landlord is entitled to a new one, certainly not the full cost, but it has been damaged by OPs carelessness so they are responsible for at least contributing for the damage they have caused to an otherwise as new appliance.0 -

That sounds like a classic case of premature extrapolation.
