Eek! Bathroom Leak!

Hi All,
Can anyone offer some advice? Yesterday we woke to find the bathroom flooded, turned the water off, mopped like mad and called a plumber who diagnosed a knackered washer replaced it and releaved us of £30, fair enough, we were happy with that.
The bathroom has started to smell a bit musty and I think the water has leaked under our "waterproof" cork tiles and started to rot or something, downstairs the wallpaper is all bubbling on the dining room ceiling. Mr Jumper will phone the insurance on Tuesday morning, I say phone them now, although I don't think the floor will fall through I think maybe there is more damage than we first thought.
Should we phone them now? Do you think they will pay out? Will our bathroom floor collapse into the dining room? Any advice or wise words gratefully received.
Thanks in advance.

They probably arnt open now.
If it was a genuine EOW then you should be fine claiming. I dont think the floor will collapse, although it will depend on how much water it has absorbed.0
