Legal Question in Consumer Law in Virginia

I have only agreed to have the plumber fix my low water shower pressue due to what he had told me (1) the only way to fix it, is to go through the tile (2) fixing the tile will be cheap $100-$200. Now with a hole in my shower, I found out he could have gone through the drywall to avoid the damage, and that patching the tile doubles/tripples the amount I had paid for the plumbing itself, close to a thousand dollars based on two estimates. I went from a water pressure issue to an even more expensive tile repair issue. Since the plumber was wrong on both counts in which I had based my decision for him to do the work. Can the plumbing company be held liable for the difference from the $100-$200 to get my shower tile fixed?
