As it's their fault, but you still want them to do the work, make them an
offer!
You can plead poverty and say "I want you guys to do the work, I'm
impressed with the product and may be able to raise an additional..... but
that really is the limit".
This way both parties save face.
Make sure you leave a bit back though.
So if you think that an additional 400 will swing it and you would be
happy to pay this, offer 350 so they can barter you up a bit.

I'm not sure if paying the extra will save face on my behalf, when they're
contractually bound to do the work for the contracted price.

I do see your point though.

Here's an interesting link that someone has provided...
