If you did the damage you are liable for the reasonable costs of repairs. You should however have been given the chance to repair yourself. If they have repaired using a contractor through their insurance company, you should ask for the details and the invoices. If you think the repair costs were excessive you can tell the business owner that you dispute the claim and that you would want this heard in the Disputes Tribunal if they want to pursue the claim
