Have spoken with Citizens advice, they have said that I could pay the invoice in full under protest to stop and court proceedings then try and claim back part of the money once it's fixed. Not sure that's a good plan, as I prefer to hold the cards rather than trust someone else!
Or I can pay for materials only.
Or I should keep up communication with him, until such time as the faults have been rectified by him or another trades person and come to a mutual agreement.
I'm thinking that his materials minus the cost of what has been damaged, i.e. having to re-tile the bathroom so new tiles etc and then paying the balance. he wouldn't end up with much.
Not sure I want a court battle but CA said you have a strong position as you have let him try and fix it 6 times and photographic evidence, but they advise that it's better to come to a mutual agreement than drag it through court.
