I don't buy in to that I am afraid.

Plumber goes out to street and turns off mains supply to house and goes home.

How about??? Plumber turns up at the doorstep. Client says "but you finished yesterday". Plumber spends all day banging on the door, and now wants paying for that day.

it’s not dead easy. Plumber turns up on your door to do a days rate for £200 a day. You refuse to let him in and ask him to wait on the job. Surely he is entitled to being paid
why do contractors feel like we are taxis and it’s only when someone is in the cab can we charge

What's so hard to understand? You don't get paid for what you don't work. You get paid for what you do work.
Dead easy?
Far more sensible to put the time and effort into finding the next job.

Very unusual for a contract to run until the first day of the month. It was probably always intended to end on 31st May. I would view this as a mistake on the contract. No harm in trying to get an additional day paid but not worth a legal fight.

Do you really need to chase 1 day you didn't even work for payment? You're not an employee, part of running a business is knowing what isn't worth the effort to chase. I get you're bitter about what happened but that's not a good enough reason to go through this amount of effort and likely end up with nothing.

The contract might run TILL the 1st July. In that case OP has lost a day for nothing.
Best possible result is to raise an invoice, waste effort arguing about for several times, get nowhere, don't get any money, write off the invoice as a bad debt and get the CT offset as a result. So somewhere around £100 saved. Is it really worth it?
