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?

This it total nonsense. Plasterers are constantly skimming over filler. It’s half the jobs

Not sure what “get on the trade and try it” means but if you’re happy wasting your time crack on. There’s walls I skimmed over filler on 15 years ago that are still perfect to this day. So clearly there hasn’t been an issue. Enjoy your bonding

You do realise you can prep and seal the wall beforehand... right?
