Slightly unusual query but would be grateful of any help.
My mother had a small water leak from the bathroom in her flat which did some minor damage to the bathroom ceiling of the flat below.
The owner had an estimate for £220 to put the damage right. I told the owner to claim on the insusrance (all flats covered by the same block insurance).
Now the owner has come back saying that there is a £250 excess on the policy and that she has had the work done (on the 1 estimate) and wants my mother to pay the £220 invoice.
The question is does £220 sound about right to re- artex a area of ceiling about 1mtr x 1mtr and then paint the whole ceiling ( normal bathroom size about 6'x6')?
