A dad has been left fuming after claiming rogue workmen botched his brand new bathroom renovations - leaving him £10,000 out of pocket.
James Crosthwaite, 37, hired a company to carry out work to build a downstairs bathroom at his home in Newcastle and was quoted £9,000 in March 2021.
But the project was hit with a series of delays with work starting a month late and was only completed more than a year later when James hired a second firm.
