Okay, thank you for your advice. Not the answer I had hoped for, but at least I know! I shall try the manufacturer instead.

HTC tend to be quite good with their repairs, so you should be in good hands.

I've emailed them, but I'm yet to receive an acknowledgement, let alone a response.

You can also look for phone repair shops. The kind that unlock phones too. Some of them replace screens and camera glass. My local did a very good job on a Samsung S5's camera.
If you go for manufacturer's repair, they will often want the full camera module repaired, which will be a whole lot more for a non-warenty repair.

Do bear in mind that an unofficial repair may invalidate your warranty. If that's near its end, it may be an acceptable risk, though.

The first thing to check is whether the crack affects the image quality at all. Anything that close to the lens may have little effect. I once completely shattered the filter on a SLR and only noticed when I looked at it from the front. Despite being a complete mess, it wasn't distorting the veiwfinder image (amazingly). And, yes, if there hadn't been a filter there, it would have been the front lens element that would have suffered.
