try another glass company. if you are fully comp all glass companies will do it for free and like gavin from autoglass says, 'it wont even effect your premium' when i broke my windscreen i used autowindscreens and the insurance payed up. also if you phone your insurance they will put you on to someone that they recomend and WILL pay foreverything

I dont know about failing the APK (Dutch MOT) but here if you have either fully comp or the second insurance (fire and theft in the uk but i think ours is a bit more than that, we have roughly translated...3rd party, 3rd party plus or fully comp) then stone chips are normally filled in free of charge under ur insurance by carglass. It doesnt affect ur no claims either.
It doesnt' affect your no claims, but you must declare it as a claim for 5 years on new insurance, which jacks up the premium.

It's literally tiny. Probably about the size of a matchhead. I'm MOTing at Nationwide Autocenters with the halfprice offer on autotrader.co.uk, but I won't use them in the future as they are nazis. They told my friend his W-reg focus needed a new engine as a bit of black smoke came out of the exhaust. He has it serviced 3 months ago, so he took it back to the service garage and before he could tell them what was wrong, the guy said "Oh did they see some black smoke? That's just where the oil burns off after topping up." So N-A had tried to charge him £3k for a new engine that he didn't need.

im sure you dont have to put it as a claim. thats the whole point of gavs phrase 'and it wont even affect your premium'. if so ive been lied to
