Plastering & Rendering

Plaster Finish and best way to fix.

I recently had several rooms in my house Dry lined and Skimmed. The work pre-painted looked to be satisfactory although the finish around all the sockets was far from satisfactory and took me considerable time and a few bags of easy fill to fix but I took that on the chin. After paining it revealed Trowel Mark, lumps dumps and waves in the finish, the best way to describe the finish is like cellulite and other areas look like waves in the sea. I am trying to work with the plasterers to get the work fixed, they have so far addressed 1 room by re-skimming the ceiling and 2 walls. They drilled wholes in a section of board that was not bonded to the wall and foamed filled and left me with several areas of wall with easy filled trowelled on and left for me to sand. In my mind I have agreed the quoted price and it was in line with other quotes and have been left with a shoddy job. Should I be expected to sand walls that they don't want to re-plaster due them having reveals or corner? Am I correct in expecting a better finish?
