My bathroom fitter has been cutting corners in order to complete the job as quickly as possible.
For example, he decided not to prime the plasterboard before tanking.
I specifically requested moisture resistant plasterboard but due the current pandemic / bank holiday, I was unable to source some on the day.
Therefore, he decided to just use regular plasterboard and when I queried this, he muttered that I should ‘shut up’.
The shower valve he installed has 3 fixing holes but he only screwed in two. And the screws used looked small and inappropriate for the job. So I worry that this may not hold.
The final nail in the coffin was when the fitter decided to pee in front of my property despite a fully operational loo on my ground floor.
Due to the quality of the job and his rudeness, I do not trust him in my home and I have lost confidence that he will do a decent job. So I wanted to pay him for what he has done and bring someone else in to quote and complete the job
After informing him that I no longer wish for him to continue, the fitter has now began to send threatening and intimidating messages demanding payment for what he has done today ‘or else’. Perhaps he is referring to legal action?
Am I obligated to pay him what he is requesting? What would be a fair way to assess what he has done? Am I right in wanting to bring someone else in? Any advice is welcome
