Appliance cover
Hob cover
Two rings out of four stop working and you're cooking in shifts.
Induction hobs are electronics under glass, which makes them reliable right up until they aren't. Gas hobs fail more gently. An ignition here, a valve there.

What actually goes wrong
The parts that fail, and what they cost.
Typical UK parts-and-labour figures for a single repair. On a plan, every one of these is already covered. Off one, it’s the bill.
Induction generator
One or more zones dead, error on the panel.
£200–£380
Touch control board
Controls unresponsive or locked on.
£150–£270
Ignition pack
Clicking, no flame.
£95–£170
Gas valve
Flame won't hold when you release the knob.
£110–£195
Cooling fan
Hob overheats and shuts itself down.
£90–£160
Figures are typical, not a quote. Your plan covers the repair whatever the fault turns out to be.

Your hob is already in the picker. Add anything else you want covered and the price adds up on the screen, and each extra appliance costs a little less than the one before.

No card needed to see your price. Nobody calls you.
What the plan does
What cover actually gets you.
Unlimited callouts
Report as many separate faults as you need to during your plan year. There's no cap on how many times you can call us out.
Parts and labour together
One monthly figure covers the engineer's time and the parts they fit. You don't get a second bill after the visit.
Replacement if it can't be repaired
If our engineer decides your appliance can't be economically repaired, we replace it rather than leaving you with a dead machine.
Mechanical and electrical breakdown
Both sides of a failure are covered: the moving parts that wear out and the electronics that stop talking to them.
A UK helpdesk
You speak to someone in the UK who can see your plan and book the engineer on the same call.
Discounts when you upgrade
If you decide to replace an appliance yourself rather than repair it, we'll put our trade discount towards the new one.
Before you buy
What hobcover won’t do.
The same exclusions apply to every appliance, and you shouldn’t have to go looking for them, so here they are.
Anything that breaks in your first 60 days
Each appliance has a 60-day waiting period from the day it's added to your plan before you can book a repair on it, and a breakdown in that window isn't covered. It stops people signing up with a machine that's already broken, which is what keeps the price where it is. If something fails during those 60 days, call us anyway, and we'll quote you for a one-off repair at our normal rate. This is separate from your 14-day right to cancel.
A fault that was already there
If the appliance was faulty, noisy, leaking or intermittent before you took cover out, that fault isn't covered. Cover is for things that go wrong after you're on the plan, not things that already have.
Scratches, dents and marks
Cosmetic damage isn't covered. If the door is scuffed but the machine works, that's not a breakdown. Handles, trims and fascias are only covered when the appliance won't function without them.
Accidental damage and misuse
Dropping it, overloading it, running it without water, putting the wrong thing through it. If the failure was caused rather than worn, it isn't a breakdown.
Bad installation
Transit bolts left in, no earth, an unvented dryer in a sealed cupboard, a waste pipe plumbed uphill. If the appliance failed because of how it was fitted, that's a job for whoever fitted it.
Consumables and routine maintenance
Filters, bags, belts on vacuum brush bars, bulbs, shelves, seals you're meant to wipe, descaling, cleaning a blocked pump of coins and hair grips. Wear items and upkeep are yours.
