Pub won't do anything, I wouldn't even bother trying, you'd probably have to prove it was their glass

You could do that, but they'd argue that it wasn't their glass, it came from somewhere else...

It'll cost you about a fiver to have it fixed if the glass is in the middle of the tread, not too far towards the edge.
