I think you should probably have given the first plumber a chance to look at the defects and rectify the problems but given the job he did, I can understand you wouldn't want to do that.
I would get a separate bill from your new plumber for the defects and send that with a strongly worded letter asking for full reimbursement of the account plus any damage to carpets etc. that you have suffered, I fear you may end up taking him to court for this but you'll have a good case if you do. |
