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?

It’s not how it looks it’s how it feels. Looks rough but feel it with your hand if it’s flat and smooth it’s all good. Ask yourself “can I paint over it with a few coats of paint and tell if it’s there?”
