Filing with county court is cheap (£80?). Trading Standards will cost you nothing at all I don't think.

Trading Standards are generally advisory. If the concensus is that the supplier has failed in his contractural obligations , implied or in writing...supplied inferior product..or whatever the case may be then County Court is a piece of cake. Its informal and is really not that onerous. They are designed for "Joe Public" but I would think you will need some sort of technical documentary evidence to support your claim as has already been mentioned. It would help if you have correspondence with him , of any form, stating what he proposed and what his reaction was when you asked him to rectify the problem. He probably won't turn up but if he does and the evidence says the concrete is faulty it will cost him....or he will offer to settle before that and put it right.
He puts the good guys to shame and thats why people get agitated. It hard enough to get a reputation in business without idiots like this. Its easy to give advice by the same token and the call has to be yours of course.
