Would it have been an equally dodgy job as the one he did on the back. Since you seem to think that the back is perfectly alright!!

Pheebs, I think you are doing exactly what most reasonable and sensible people would. You ask for a job to be done in a certain way, you get quoted for that job. The job should be done exactly how you asked, not partly done and then asking for more money!! I think that is down right cheeky.

Then you'd have ripped her off.

Not yet - I've got to take some time off work so I can be at home for the quote and for the work to be done.

That's a bit pants Pheebs

I haven't really got any advice to help other than stand by your convictions and don't let yourself get ripped off, but if you need some muscle you know where I am

My parents had a charlatan do some work round at theirs, needless to say I turned up and the guy soon decided to change his mind - still I don't know why people don't take responsibility for their obligations :/
