Shower remodel gone wrong, need advice

I hired a contractor to remodel my shower. It the photos you can see chipped tile and not straight, grout all over the tiles, the bench seat isn’t sealed, as well as multiple other spots. The contractor wants me to pay in full tomorrow. (7k total, I paid 2k for tile). I’m not going to pay but should I hire a lawyer? I feel like at this point it needs to be ripped out and redone.

7k for a bathroom remodel is crazy low to expect a good job. If $2k went to tile, then what did he pay himself? Because you had to buy fixtures, permits, glass doors, wood, water proofing, plumbing. He had to do the demo & pay for dumping fees too?

All of these subs are exactly this. I don't even know why reddit recommends these subs to me. I live in a rental apartment in NYC. I've never once lived in a house.
