I would have a major shop around with different companies, as a lot just add in the £50 so you don't end up paying it.

No, virtually no company will swallow the insurance excess for a normal private customer. Fleet and account customers are different, but regular joe off the street with a fully comp policy with glass cover and a 50, 60, 75, etc excess won't have it swallowed by the fitting company. Reason being is the company doesn't keep that money - they have to give it to the insurance company. So the Insurance company pays, say, £40 for an Escort screen to the fitting company, the fitting company take £50 off the customer and send it to the insurance company. If they swallowed it, they'd still only get £40 off the ins company, and STILL have to send the ins company £50, so they would end up a tenner down. Not gonna happen is it...
