Can I fix it myself?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Ballantrae
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Hospitality businesses cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

- Failed support under the worktop
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

Ballantrae questions
Do I have to be there?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
Can you match the pattern on my worktop?
Yes. We recreate the pattern by hand.
Do you cover the entire of South Ayrshire?
We work UK-wide, so Ballantrae is covered. Prices don’t change with location.
Will you leave a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
What happens if you find more damage?
The price is fixed for what the pictures show. If there’s more, we will tell you before starting.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Most of the time. Let us know what was used before and we will plan for it.
What happens next?
We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.
Do I need to clear the kitchen?
Only around the repair. You can generally still use the rest of the kitchen.
