Blind fitting problem

shinytop

I had some blinds fitted by one of these companies that post flyers. Chap came and did it when I was out but OH was in. I returned home just as he was about to leave. I could not open the door properly because the fitter had fitted a blind on the back door (which we had asked for) such that it fouled the wall (the door is in a slight recess). When I say I couldn't open the door I mean I had to squeeze through sideways and I'm a slim chap. I said I wasn't happy; since OH had already paid by this point I asked chap to remove offending blind and refund me for it, which (after contecting 'head office') he did.

The problem is I now have 3 holes in my UPVC back door (two mounting and one for a cord holder). I think any competent blind fitter should have foreseen this problem and not fitted the blinds. Am I within my rights to insist my door is returned to how it was? I and the blinds company are still talking but they are starting to get a bit evasive. I suspect they are going to say because I accepted a refund that's the end of the matter but I don't see it quite that way. I don't want to take the p*** and ask for a new door but I feel I should be entitled to a repair by a competent person. Any thoughts?

You won't get a new door but you may get a competent person who can repair it using something like this

Do you think that'll polish the holes out?

Fill it, spray it, polish it. The holes should end up almost invisible.
