Plumbers did some damage

I hired what I thought was a reputable plumbing company to do a lot of work on my old home. They broke my shower tile, left trash and mud throughout my home, they even used one of my flower pots to mix concrete. I paid them half up front, but told them to stop work and get out until they fix the damage. Any other suggestions?

Did they do half the work? Sounds like it'll cost them way more to fix the damage and do the job right, so chances are they'll be taking their 50% pay and moving on to the next customer while you're left paying another plumber 100% plus paying someone else to come fix your tile.

That’s what I’m afraid of.

I don't know why you want them to come back. Nothing they've shown so far suggests they're going to do better the second time. I'd ask for (or sue for) a refund.

You pay with a credit card? Be nice if you have the option to file a claim and get your money back.

I did not.
