Asking handyman back to fix problem

Should I be charged if I ask a handyman back to fix a problem they're meant to have resolved? I'm having issues with a leaky gutter.

"If the job isn't complete the way you expected then they should return. If the handyman gave you an invoice. Hold money until rectified if already paid and he refuses then you'll have to get someone to fix keep recipets and go small claims court."

"No charge for the specific area of work compleated which is defective or not resolved. Other issues may be to blame and should be investigated and discussed with the client."

"No, any reputable tradesman would not charge to resolve an issue they had been paid to fix. My recommendation would be to try to resolve the issue amicably if that fails leave a negative review on social media platforms, it might not help your situation but may help others. Hope this helps and good luck."

"No if the problem hasn't been resolved they need to come back and sort it however unless the issue is something else."
