Recently had my small cloakroom toilet fully renovated for £3,500. Overall it looks decent, but I’ve noticed some finishing details that don’t seem right to me, and I’m not sure if I’m being too picky or if these should be fixed.

I’ve attached photos showing the issues:

The metal trim/frame above the wall looks slightly slanted (rising towards the right).

One corner joint isn’t properly aligned and doesn’t seem well sealed.

Another corner joint looks messy and poorly finished.

There is also a long scratch on one wall panel. The contractor tried to polish/repair it, but the mark is still visible.

For the scratch, I was even considering just hanging a hand towel in that spot to cover it, rather than asking them to remove and replace the whole wall panel, but I’m not sure what the normal standard should be.

For a job at this price, would you consider these acceptable finishing standards, or should I reasonably expect the contractor to come back and fix some of these items?

Any advice from people with renovation or tiling experience would be really appreciated.
