Is $500 to patch a 1-foot square section of ceiling with knockdown texture a fair price?

Project Details

My plumber tied the hot water line to the toilet in the basement, and the only way to fix it is to cut out a 1-foot square section of the ceiling. I'm asking if a knockdown texture is easy to blend and if I should go with this path or if there's a better way to cut the hole to make the repair easier. I'm also wondering if I should send the bill to the plumber.

Quote Details

This quote is for patching a 1-foot square section of the ceiling that needs to be cut out to fix a plumbing issue. The ceiling has a knockdown texture. The drywaller indicated that it might be necessary to skim coat the entire 4x10 bathroom and retexture it to ensure a proper blend.
