I think you'll find you do. The wording of the law says they're obliged
to give you a "refund or replacement". It doesn't say you can insist on
one or the other, and it doesn't say who (of the consumer and the retailer)
gets to decide which it is. This can lead to an awkward situation where
you demand a refund and the retailer is only prepared to repair or replace
the item. In situations like that, the retailer has the upper hand, and so
is in a better position to get their way. Oh, and don't accept a credit
note, either. By doing so, you're legally waiving all your rights.

I found all this out the hard way after buying a guitar from a dodgy shop
in Denmark Street...
