My quotes gone bust on day one!

Today is day one of my bathroom refit. Fitter had quoted me for ripping out suite, flooring, wall coverings, replacing suite, tiling, underfloor heating, false ceiling, spotlights, blah blah. Gave me an excellent price (in my uneducated opinion!)

Came home today and he's done a ton of work in the 4/5 hours he was here. But he's ripped off all the plaster board round my wall, so that it's just insulation showing. I guess it was damp behind the tiles.

How much extra is it likely to cost me for replacing that. I only have about £500 to spare over what he originally quoted and I'm worried this won't be the last unexpected expense.

I think the black shower will look good. White plastic usually looks cheaper.

The plasterboard is a worry.

My shower has two pipes hot and cold sticking out of the wall at a standard distance from each other so can change the shower easily. Not sure about electric showers and holes in tiles though. You can probably easily change it and just use the new shower to cover up any holes
