I googled it as I couldn't believe it could be that expensive for one piece of glass. The whole stove is £1300 so near a 1/3 the cost just for the glass. I would be livid

Yea I know . I once bought a Honda Fireblade ( year 2000 ) and it was around 10K . If I bought all the parts separatly  and assembled it myself it would have bee around 35K .

Same as if you built an MS200T from parts or probably anything else. I guess it is the distribution costs, elevated margin etc etc......

I see that in this link Stoves Direct are offering glass replacement accidental damage insurance, £14.99 for 2 years cover, I suppose that with it costing so much it may be worth it.

Measure your glass dimensions and thickness and get one ( or two ) cut . There are people who will make ceramic stove glass to order for much less than that . 

4412 is a curved glass,  as such only available from Morso.  All curved glass is horrifically costly. I usually advise clients to cover it in their household insurance.   Been a major Morso dealer since 2009,  only bought one curved glass of any type,  that was one we broke during an install !!.

That's why scrap yards ( cars ) make a good living .
