I can relate to how you feel seat Princess, some handy work people are like that, after they start wondering why they never made it in their old age, forgetting that upholding a good reputation in whatever you do, no matter how small is your stepping stone to greatness.

Just forget the guy, let him do as he wishes, there, was a machine engineer who I paid to fix my sewing machine, instead, he took some parts of the machine saying he wanted to buy some things needed, it's been one month any I haven't laid eyes on him since then.

I just let go and found another diligent one, who worked on my machine pretty fast and it's working perfectly now, I gave him extra tip for the satisfaction gotten from his service 😂 and would recommend him, as for the other, I don't even pray to see him ever again.
