I always ask for a firm quote, not an estimate. I would only pay additional money if the project involves hidden work, such as obstructions that may be located behind a wall. But, a contractor has the right to revise a quote before the work is performed. The quote is just an offer until it is agreed to by both parties. In this case, it appears that the contractor revised the quote within 15 minutes, which is entirely acceptable. I don't understand why the OP thinks the contractor did something wrong.
