Get the insurance company. Normally that's done free, no excess (they'd
rather pay for that than the broken windscreen that can develop).

Seems most now have a 10 quid excess on repairs. The guy who did mine a
few weeks back claimed it was to stop people going to random bloke under
a tent in the supermarket carparks (is it just Folkestone that seems
swamped with these at the moment??)

Mine is 10 quid excess only if I use their prefered company - otherwise it
limited to 50 quid in total (and a 10 quid excess IIRC).

But to the OP, yeah, call the insurance company (there is probably a glass
phoneline which will actually be AutoGlass or similar )
