Legal Question in Banking Law in

I have given a cheque to a packers & movers company as the balance payment for transporting household goods. The company wanted the cheque even before the items were unloaded from the truck. After the unloading I noticed that one item was not brought and another glass cabinet was totally broken. The company promised to return the missing item and repair the broken cabinet. Can I stop payment on the cheque till the delivery & repair are completed?
