The fair thing in that situation is to offer the customer a fair discount on the unanticipated item, either giving the customer 1/2 or all of the labor cost. That's what I do, and I tell my customers up front what my policy is. Personally I am in the 100% off the labor cost camp.

I'll throw a ton of free labor at an unanticipated extra if customer will simply cover parts since I'm already in there.
