Good installation undermined by poor finishing, unclear quoting and an incomplete job.
I really wanted to have a great experience with Mizzen and leave a strong review, given the many positive ones. Unfortunately, my experience was mixed.
I asked for a quote on 3 items:
- shower installation
- tap installation
- investigation of toilet issues
Sent photos, received a quote, agreed, paid the deposit.
The engineer showed on time, did a good installation and then did a poor silicone job around the basin: inaccurate, seams unsealed, cracked. He did not neglect this job completely, but the result looked unprofessional.
Investigation was effectively not carried out: he spent 1 minute on it, no questions asked, no stack inspection, no reasoning about the system, venting, etc. He said: "I don't know, I'll ask fellow engineers". Never did, as far as I'm aware. When I suggested an idea, he decided it's the right one. The problem is not that he arrived at incorrect resolution, but that no proper process of investigation took place.
After the visit we were discussing this situation with Charlie.
His initial position was that investigation did happen, basin removal, its reinstallation and silicone cover was not part of the original quote. He suggested they come for silicone fix, but the investigation item should stay.
Later, the investigation charge was removed, but there was a proposal to charge additionally for basin removal, waste replacement, and silicone work, more than doubling the original tap installation quote, despite this not being agreed in advance or communicated during the visit.
I feel they didn't put enough attention to quoting, faced the job turned out to be more complex than initially expected, never mentioned during the visit the fact that they had to do the additional work and may be were not prepared for it and then tried to charge for it retroactively.
They did good work on installation. Tap and shower work. Silicone needs full reapplication. Investigation process was not carried out.
From this experience, it seems that outcomes may depend on the engineer assigned. I believe they are a capable and professional team, but it would be helpful if scope and potential additional costs were clarified more clearly upfront, and if finishing details (such as silicone) and diagnostic work received more attention.
