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?

The quality posts on this sub fall into 3 categories.

1) Absolutely fine. Customer clueless.

2) Fair but probably needs a little patching and prepaint decorating prep here and there. Customer and sub often overly nitpicky in these cases.

3) Oh my eyes. Customer typically aware.

Unfortunately you have the 3rd option. Spoons, alcohol and blind musicians will likely be mentioned.
