Lowering a wall mirror and patching old holes
€50
Task Assigned
Description
I need to lower an existing wall mirror by about 20cm. Crucial requirement: Moving the mirror will expose the old screw holes. I need someone who can patch and finish the wall so it looks clean and matches the existing light off-white paint perfectly. Please do not apply if you cannot make the wall look neat and hole-free. Kindly explain how will you do it. Also, please bring your own screws/fittings, as I don't have them. Thanks!

@Catalin G. Thanks, I'll accept the offer. See you soon Catalin.
Thanks Zach, I really appreciate that. I never rush a job or cut corners — I like to do it right so it looks good. Wednesday 11:30 is perfect for me. It also gives me time in the morning to go get the paint so everything is ready. See you then.
@Catalin G. Hi Catalin, Yes, Wednesday works. But please don't rush yourself—if it's going to be too tight, I'm happy to wait so you have the time to do a good job without feeling stressed
Ok, I made room for you on Wednesday at around 11:30, is that okay?
@Catalin G. Hi Catalin No worries, perhaps we can do Thursday, next week?
I can come tomorrow because Wednesday I'm busy what do you say it's fine I promised someone and I can't postpone it he accepted before you I'm sorry
@Catalin G. Hi Catalin, Sounds good. I'm happy for you to bring the paint, as long as you can get a close match to the existing wall colour. If you'd prefer to come by beforehand to have a look at the wall, that's fine as well. I'm available on Wednesday. Let me know what time works for you. Thanks!
Hi Zach, Thanks for the photos and info. I can't do Friday unfortunately. I can do Thursday, Wednesday, tomorrow or even today if that suits you. To confirm: labour includes filling holes, sanding and painting. The paint would be separate and I can pick it up for you. Let me know what day works best for you. Thanks, Catalin
@Catalin G. Hi Catalin, I’ve attached a few photos of the wall and mirror so you can get a better idea of the color. It's subtle off-white wall colour. The ceiling is standard white, which should help distinguish the colours. Just to confirm, does the €50 include the paint as well as filling and finishing the old holes? Also, would Friday suit you for the job? Thanks!
Hi Zach, Thanks for the photo, that helps a lot. I don’t carry paint with me, but I can get an exact match. From the photo it looks like a standard warm off-white. The best way is to take a small sample or photo to Woodies / B&Q and get a small pot of paint mixed. That way the repair will blend in perfectly and won’t be visible. A small pot of paint is around €10-€15. I can pick it up before I come. For the repair I will fill the holes, sand smooth, and paint with 2 coats so it looks neat and hole-free. I also bring my own screws and fixings. Let me know if that works for you. Thanks, Catalin
@Catalin G. Thanks for the offer, Catalin. Just one quick question regarding the color matching—do you bring a range of off-white shades/tints with you to match the wall?
I can lower the mirror and fill the old holes
