Re: contract
It would depend on what your estimate/invoice says about it.
If you didn't have an estimate/invoice in writing, the it would depend upon your oral discussions.
If you were under a written or oral agreement that the deposit was non-refundable, then you would likely have a good case for keeping the check. This would be particularly true if you held days open (and missed other work) because your time was booked to the customer.
