Plumber caused damage

Currently having a new bathroom suite installed by an independent plumber. Whilst fitting the taps he caused a leak which has seeped through the ceiling in the room downstairs creating a hole. The plumber has refused to repair it. Where do I stand on this? The leak was caused as he opened the water mains on fully before testing each of the taps. Am I right in thinking he needs to repair this as it was down to his negligence? He has pulic liability insurance if this means anything?
Many thanks

These things happen. And he knows it. If he I decent he will take iron the chin. If not, get estimates for the repair and take it off his final bill.Eat vegetables and fear no creditors, rather than eat duck and hide.0

For a repair this small one wouldn't even consider claiming on PL insurance.
Either he should repair it, or get a builder mate/plasterer in to sort it.
That's what I would do if I damaged something.0
