Plastering & Rendering

Hiya, brand new to the building work side of things so very naive at first. Got recommended a plasterer to skim a knock through, both rooms and hall stairs and landing. Took a few days and a lot of mess for the job to get done and being honest I fed and watered the boys very well over the days. When it was all done I was expecting them to come back and inspect the work when it has dried but they didn't. I called them back to advise me as there were a few gouges, skrim tape on show in places, and all around plugs they hadn't filled where they'd been chased through. We pointed out where a fireplace was filled that the plaster hadn't been brought down to skirting board level. They were fine with everything, apologetic for the most part and did most of the work on an arranged date. There's a few issues still outstanding that I need advice on: 1. Should underneath plugs at floor level be grainy and white rather than plastered? 2. Will skrim tape really paint over if it's only slightly showing? 3. They haven't come and finished the chimney breast yet and I've contacted them asking them to ring me, my partner texted them a couple of days later, he rung them today but no answer and I've now emailed. I feel like they are taking the p*ss out of us here - would you as a plasterer always arrange to come back and check everything when you know the plaster is dry? Cheers and sorry for the long post!!
