Helps with insurance claim - what to expect?

Well it doesn't rain it pours doesn't it.
Had a (very) small pipe leak in my en-suite bathroom which has caused chaos in my house. The damage control company said most likely my en-suite will need ripped out including floor and shower, and half of my kitchen downstairs.
I've never claimed on this kind of scale before. What can I expect with regards to replacing items/redoing the bathroom etc? Whilst it's out I'd probably like to make some changes to the bathroom as we would have done eventually anyway, how would I go about this?
Do the insurance company just offer you £x amount to settle and then leave you to source the work yourselves? Or do they hand you brochures of their approved trades and get you to choose?
Thanks
