Basically I gave 500 pounds to our plumber as a deposit for a downstairs loo The toilet was delivered 2 weeks ago the vanity basin wasn't.Every day he had a different excuse not to start but there was a lot going on so I didn't mind He was supposed to start today and didn't show.I rang the shop who supplied the loo to see if I could pick up the basin etc and they had no order for a basin.I planned to get the goods and get someone else to fit them.I rang his mobile endless times and his wife said he was in spain (a lie)and told me to basically f off and said he had done some work here so owed me nothing He has done nothing yet!I am now in a position where I have to tell dp we have lost 500 less the cost of the toilet and have no basin unit either I feel sick tbh but what can I do?

That's great! Hope you get your money back, don't accept any offer to finish the job. (if he does offer anyway...). It's better not to have him around.
