Painter has thrown a blind away that I didn't want to be thrown away it's in the skip in pieces. He's solution was a couple of hooks and netting or curtains he has at home.
Also
Some paint went on the sofa not covered properly and he's scrubbed it so hard no the colouring/ dye has come off that part of the sofa.
Where do I stand ?

Get an estimate your happy with to replace or correct the damage, then deduct the amount from his bill, If he doesn't like it, he can be the one who has to chase around for his mistakes not you.

So stay firm and hand over no money until the mistakes have been corrected

That's what I would do, but don't make it known to him, just deduct the amount and promptly pay the balance, assuming of course no further damage or losses occur, and your happy with the work done.
I don't see how having your furniture ruined because of his lack of care, and destroying your property can be construed as "nit-picking" for any reason.

Is the painter doing a good job?
How much was the blind worth?
As for the sofa, how old is it, was it expensive, sounds like the damage can't be repaired, are you expecting him to replace it?
Going by your other thread it sounds like you having a lot of work done costing £1000's.
When you factor this in, apart from being annoying, there's bound to be more annoyances along the way.
If he's a good painter and you're going to be pleased you may want to factor that in.

seriously???
twice,, how on earth does that happen is he blind?
how is it the sofa got painted? any decent painter would have insisted it was moved into another area, or at the very least covered with a decent dustsheet.
based on what you told us so far, I wouldn't let him paint a fence.

The rooms he's finished are nicely done.
The blind was already here when we moved in we kept it for privacy until new 1 was ordered( my boys room took nearly 2 weeks to be made)
Sofa was I don't know £2k.ish.
He did say he was going to buy 3 new sheets for the living room. And suppose when givingth3 mist coat on celling few drops when on the arm and seat bit.
It's just sloppy work. He knew the carpets was coming up so he git the covered in paint the old doors are coming off so he gets paint on them.
I told him today that I can't get new doors fitted b4 Xmas and I need him to sort out the ones with paint on.. he was like I can just paint them white if that's better lol

I can't expect him to replace it cos he will have no wages.
Ain't there people that can re dye it or somthing like that?

yes I would think a restorer could effect a decent solution, I can only form an opinion on what you have told us,, but I would not be happy at all with such a sloppy amateurish approach to a paying customer.
In fact I would have sent him packing by now, but that's just me, you must do as you see fit.
