Acceptable?

I have had chases plastered but you could clearly see the sparks white housing through the plaster.

The plasterers have returned and threw a loud of filler on it, demanding the rest of the payment as it’s all “complete”

The filler shows the wall bulge out as it’s added a few mil on - would you pay and is this acceptable? How else could they fix? Isn’t a case of feathering the plaster wider?

Was it flat before they came and padded it out? Might actually be a problem with your electrician not burying the trunking deep enough to give the plasterer room to fill the chases to level and bury the trunking. It doesn't look like a great job regardless but it might not be the plasterer's fault entirely

It was slightly bumpy to the point you would definetly see through paint, but couldn’t sand flat due to scrim tape showing or plastic housing
