Damage caused by faulty product

Hi all
wondered if you could help. I recently bought an egg chair, when putting it up I noticed 2 screws missing, the rubber floor protectors missing (5 rubber rings) and some damage to the plastic rattan.

I told the company immediately and they wanted pictures which were sent after a bout of rain and it was then noticed that the metal frame had started rusting - after 2 weeks.

company was informed and a return was agreed - now goods have been returned and I am waiting for my refund however the my newly tiled patio has a rusted imprint where the chair stood. 

Should I claim compensation or let it go?

what would you do?

    Clean it off.  You might try WD40, testing a small spot of paving somewhere out of the way first.  Otherwise, there are plenty of products out there for a few quid.  Whether or not you want to try and claim up to a few pounds in compensation is up to you, but I wouldn't bother.
