We did make a small claim which was actually fixed by someone not sent by the insurer but is still open pending report from Dynoplumb on what was wrong so we can get damage assessed but I don't think we are likely to proceed as we will be refitting kitchen sometime soon anyway.
A neighbour did mention their premium had increased a fair bit too as "there have been claims made in the area".

Even if you don't proceed with a claim if you've told the insurance company they'll treat it as an incident, and increase your premium. Any excuse for those guys.
They did if for me when I had a slight bodywork damage on my car. Decided to get it repaired myself in the end as incredibly they wanted to right it off. Got it repaired for £600, car is is worth £3.5k. Later learned they patch up these 'cat d' right offs and sell on at a nice profit.
