Cornice job

[tulip*place]

Would like some opinions please.  Recently had some renovations done.  There was a few issues with the cornice work during the time and it was mentioned to the builder and fixed somewhat..  The last work was cornice to the kitchen area.  I was informed that the job wouldn't be perfect due to some sagging to the ceiling.  ok... .I noticed the cornice guy re measuring every piece that he had cut a few weeks earlier and new pieces had to be ordered.   Every piece he fitted was taking forever and I was getting impatient as I wanted the job done especially when they were on an hourly rate.  Final piece goes up I notice that there is a join.  Asked the builder and he said some measurement was wrong and I pulled him up and told him that there was a full length that had been cut a few weeks earlier.  Cornice guy stuffs up again.  Paid the bill as I was just so over it.  Today I'm ready to paint the cornice and notice that the 850mm join  isn't straight and has a difference of 15mm from one side to the other.  

I don't want them back as it didn't end well.  Should I get someone else in to pull that section down and redo it with 1 piece and send the builder the bill.  Or just get over it

Can't attach pic

Ooops! Thanks for pointing out pigeon hole cupboards as depicted in pic joono. Thought was top part of a double front main door and the pigeon hole/cupboards-thought these were little windows.....

Still think it unacceptable work. I would definitely not be happy and would try to get money back/compensation/get botcher operater to pay to get done properly. My opinion.

This would bug me forever if I just left  and did nothing.....even trying to get someone else to 'fix' would not completely cover up the original crime committed here

Well you would be amazed by what I learnt to live with Paints.  The good news is that I finally got a lot of them fixed by the builder nearly ten years later.

Thanks for your replies.  I have sent the builder the pic and mentioned that the 850mm piece wasn't even fitted straight (as if he didn't know).  I advised that I will have to  get it rectified before it can be painted.

Don't expect a reply.    It cost me $200 (4 hours @$50) for the cornice to be cut . 10 hours labour to fit it and a poor job.  Plus the cost of the cornice.  Approx $800.  With much frustration and stress to me.
