You're comparing Apples to Oranges

Yes, I'd say so. The correct analogy would be someone backing into
your car with a piece of rebar hanging off the back of their truck.
The rebar winds up making a hole through the door and on into the
radio. I'd say the guy is entitled to a new radio.

to fix it?

He doesn't have to be a tile expert he just has to know what the contractor's
liabilities after damaging someone's house. Just a wild guess I'll go with
liability

I have never heard of such a dump ass way of looking at something.
How would you feel if some contractor damged your house?
