Leak Under Bath - Insurance Or Plumber?!

After I finished my shower last night we had water pouring through the ceiling downstairs. It stopped eventually once the draining water had run out so there is no emergency as long as no one uses the bath.

Who should I call in to fix this? Should I just contact a plumber or claim it on home insurance (I think its covered reading through the blurb last night)?

If your celling has been damaged, Insurance, if not, check the plug area base, the outlet may be loose & just wants to be tightened it's not a big job.

To add, has it gone anywhere near the lighting celling / plug / switch? If so, call out an electrician just to check.
