Bathrooms Done Beautifully
Stylish bathrooms, expertly designed and fitted in Ayr.
There is something telling about a bathroom company that does not try to dazzle you with empty promises. Carrick Bathrooms comes across instead as the sort of business that understands what most homeowners actually want: good design, reliable service and a finished room that works beautifully day after day.
From its showroom at 33 New Road, the company offers bespoke bathroom design, full installation and supply-only services for customers throughout Ayrshire. That practical, straightforward approach is a big part of the appeal. Bathrooms are not impulse purchases. They are one of the hardest-working rooms in the house, and getting one right means balancing looks, storage, layout, comfort and budget.
Carrick Bathrooms can help you with the complete bathroom, shower room or cloakroom installation, tailoring each job to suit the customer’s needs and budget. The company also has decades of experience on its side, having built a trusted name in Ayrshire over many years of serving local households.
That heritage is closely linked to Kenny Blackwood, who has led the business for 37 years. After nearly four decades at the helm, Kenny is now stepping back to enjoy a well-earned semi-retirement, spending more time with family and on the golf course, while still keeping an active interest in the company he built.
Taking over as the new owner/director is James McGuire, who joined the business in January this year. James arrives with strong industry experience, having spent 20 years with Porcelanosa. That background has given him an excellent grounding in design, products and customer expectations, and by all accounts he has settled into Carrick Bathrooms quickly and naturally.
Friendly, approachable and keen to learn, James has embraced the opportunity with real enthusiasm. With Kenny still offering guidance and sharing his extensive knowledge, the transition appears to be in safe hands. James is described as a family man with honest values and a clear passion to see Carrick Bathrooms continue going from strength to strength. He also brings a fresh perspective, with plans to further develop the company’s social media presence and connect with a younger generation of homeowners planning their own renovations.
What comes across strongly is that this is not a one-style-fits-all business. Whether a customer prefers something traditional or a more modern, contemporary finish, Carrick Bathrooms positions itself as a company that can adapt the design to the home and the person living in it. Its team can work from a customer’s own ideas or help develop a practical, functional design from scratch. That is often exactly what people need: not a hard sell, but experienced guidance.
The full design-and-installation service remains one of the company’s biggest strengths. Carrick Bathrooms offers a genuine start-to-finish approach, with experienced fitters carrying projects through from planning to completion. It highlights complete bathroom refits as well as smaller aesthetic upgrades such as tiling, fittings and fixtures. For homeowners, that kind of joined-up service can make a real difference. Instead of juggling separate suppliers and trades, they can deal with one company that keeps the process moving.
Much of that reputation rests on the skill of the installation team. Long-serving fitters Alec and Neil are regarded by the business as two of the finest tradesmen in Ayrshire, and customers frequently request the same fitter when returning for second or even third bathroom makeovers. That sort of repeat loyalty speaks volumes about both workmanship and trust.
The support team behind the scenes is equally important. Showroom staff are described as knowledgeable, helpful and friendly, with Jackie bringing 26 years of experience to the company. Joined by Donna in 2022, the pair are said to make an excellent team for customers visiting the showroom. In the warehouse, Jim ensures stock levels are maintained and customer orders are prepared on time so projects can begin without delay.
Carrick Bathrooms also offers a supply-only service for customers who already have their own fitter or simply want quality products from one place. From full bathroom suites to baths, basins, showers, toilets, tiles and accessories, from quality names like Porcelanosa, Roca, Vado, Geberit to name but a few the company aims to provide everything under one roof.
Another thing that works in the company’s favour is its local presence. Carrick Bathrooms presents itself very much as a local Ayr business, rooted in the community it serves. In home improvement, that still matters. People are not only buying products. They are buying trust.
Perhaps that is the best way to understand Carrick Bathrooms. It is not selling fantasy. It is offering something more useful than that: an experienced, practical and evolving local business, combining decades of trusted knowledge with fresh energy for the future.
