Hi Leigh
You can try to charge them but I wouldn't. You have no written
assignment, contract or similar. Plus if you charge them it gets you
back a negative reference and companies know each other often better
as you might think. Altought I wouldn't consider continue working with
them in that manner. They sound like the 500th revision type of
clients ;)

Best regards,
Sigi
