We hear a lot about rouge traders, maybe we should start a thread about about rouge customers!

Also with regard to @impish comment. Where would I look to find info on customers rights if they choose to get someone else.
Thanks agaon

If you Google "not happy with tradesmans work" you'll get several links, all state that the customer must make loads of attempts to get you back to rectify problems WELL BEFORE they can let you know in writing, that they will get someone else and present you with the invoice.
I'll find you an exact link later...

I would go round to the house as may times as it takes,and if you know who the electrician is maybe ask him what he did

if you tiled up to the feet under the units the kick board cannot possibly fall short of the tiles unless they have moved something. Sounds to me like you are being taken for a mug. As Plan Tec Tiling said above and several others start the formal process with letter and invoice by recorded delivery. take it through small claims court if she doesn't pay... In situations like this I wish knee capping was also an option...
