If he failed to honor his agreement as to what he would do (breach of contract), lied about what he could or would do (fraud), and/or was unprofessionally careless in doing the work (negligence), he should be responsible for the costs to correct the situation. If he will not do so voluntarily, you could sue him (such as in small claims court, as your own attorney or "pro se") on the grounds listed above with a reasonable or even good chance of success.
