If you’re replacing a glass stove top, you can expect to pay an average cost of around $400, but costs can range from $350 to $600 or more. Use this guide to learn how much it costs to replace a glass stove top based on factors like size, type, and whether or not you hire a pro to help.

Glass Stove Top Replacement Cost Factors

Several factors affect the cost of replacing a glass stove top, including the type and size of the glass, additional features, labor, and the number of burners.

Type of Glass

Glass stove tops are typically either tempered or ceramic. Tempered glass is more affordable, ranging from $200 to $600, but it’s not as durable as its ceramic counterpart. Tempered glass is treated with heat to make it more resistant to heat and impacts. When it breaks, it shatters into blunt pieces rather than sharp pieces, reducing the risk of injury.

Ceramic glass is made via a crystallization process that creates a material with both glass and ceramic properties. It’s more resistant to heat and thermal shock, aka extreme temperature changes, than tempered glass, but it also costs more, ranging from $400 to $1,000.

Type of GlassDescriptionAverage Cost
TemperedNot as heat resistant as ceramic but more affordable$200-$600
CeramicHighly resistant to heat and thermal shock$400-$1,000

Number of Burners

The number of burners on a stove can affect its costs in several ways. For starters, the more burners a stove has, the bigger the glass stop needs to be, and therefore, the higher the costs. Plus, more burners often mean the design and installation process is more complex than it is for stoves with fewer burners, which can increase your costs.  

Size

Size is one of the biggest factors affecting glass top replacement costs. The bigger the glass piece you need, the more you can expect to pay. Larger pieces of glass not only cost more to make, but they’re also more challenging to handle, transport, and install, which may increase your labor costs. In some cases, large glass tops need additional reinforcement, further increasing costs.

There are two types of glass stoves: induction and electric. Induction stove top replacements typically cost the most, ranging from $400 to $1,000. They’re more costly because this stove type needs specialized glass—usually ceramic—that can handle the high temperatures, thermal shock, and magnetic fields that induction cooking requires. Induction stoves also often have more advanced technology and features, which can drive up the replacement price.

Meanwhile, electric stoves are often made from tempered glass, which is more affordable than ceramic, because they don’t need the extra reinforcement that induction cooking requires. Electric stove top replacements cost between $200 and $600

Warranty Coverage

If your stove top is still under warranty, the manufacturer may cover part or all of your replacement costs. However, it depends on your specific coverage. Some warranties cover glass breaks, while others only cover workmanship or materials defects. Check your warranty to determine exactly what’s covered. 

Additional Features

If a glass stove top has additional features, like touch controls, sensors, or specialized coatings, it can increase your costs. These features may require precise handling, alignment, and/or calibration, which can add more time and therefore labor costs to your replacement. 

Labor

Hiring a local technician for an appliance repair costs between $50 and $200 per hour. The time it will take to install the replacement depends on the type and size of the glass, as well as the complexity of the replacement process. For instance, stove tops with multiple burners or advanced features typically take longer to replace than more basic stove tops, driving up costs. However, most replacements are finished within two hours. 

DIY Glass Stove Top Replacement vs. Hiring a Pro

Considering that hiring a local appliance repair technician costs between $50 and $200 per hour, you can save money by replacing a glass stove top yourself. However, the replacement process can be tricky and potentially dangerous, especially when working with very heavy glass and when trying to accommodate advanced features. So unless you have related experience under your belt, it’s best to call a pro to help with this project.

When replacing your glass stove top, you may want to make other repairs or replacements as well, such as replacing your burners or control knobs. You might also consider purchasing an extended warranty, which can increase your costs but potentially save you money in the long run. 

  • Burner replacement cost: $100–$250 per burner

  • Stove cleaning cost: $100–$300

  • Extended warranty cost: $100–$250

  • Control knob replacement cost: $20–$50 per knob

Frequently Asked Questions

If your glass stove top has major cracks, chips, or shatters, you should replace it, as these can affect its safety and structural integrity. Additionally, if the glass top has persistent discoloration or scratches that you can’t fix, you’ll need to replace it to restore its original appearance, but this is less of a safety concern than major cracks or other damage.

No, you shouldn’t cook on a cracked glass stove top because cracks can cause the glass to shatter further during use. They may also allow food particles and liquid to seep into the stove’s internal components, creating potential electrical problems. Plus, cracks will create uneven heating, which can affect your cooking results and potentially damage cookware.

Avoid placing very heavy or sharp objects on a glass stove top as they can cause cracks and scratches. Additionally, make sure to lift cookware rather than slide it across the glass to prevent scratches. You should also clean spills immediately to prevent staining and ensure that the cleaning products you use avoid abrasives, which can damage the surface.

Glass stove tops can last anywhere from 10 to 20 years depending on the type of glass and whether it’s properly maintained. Cleaning your stove top regularly and avoiding using heavy or sharp objects on it can help to prolong its life, as can addressing problems as soon as they arise to prevent further damage.
