Sports & Leisure Facility Refurbishment

Fusion Surfaces delivers sports and leisure refurbishment solutions for live venues where durability, presentation and operational continuity all matter.

Using architectural vinyl wrapping, wall graphics and window film, we help operators upgrade stadium hospitality areas, gyms, changing rooms, training facilities and other high-traffic interiors without full replacement or prolonged downtime

Refurbishment services for sports & leisure facilities

Our sports and leisure refurbishment services are designed for environments that stay busy, wear hard and often need to remain fully usable throughout the programme. From surface upgrades and venue branding to privacy film and glazed partitions, each service helps operators improve existing interiors without the cost, waste and disruption of full replacement.

Architectural Film & Vinyl Wrapping

Architectural film and vinyl wrapping allow sports and leisure venues to refresh bars, counters, lockers, doors, wall panelling and fitted furniture without stripping out existing assets. It is a practical way to modernise tired interiors quickly, improve consistency and reduce downtime in heavily used environments.

Wall Graphics & Interior Branding

Wall graphics and venue branding help create more energising, recognisable environments across gyms, training spaces, changing areas and circulation routes. From motivational graphics to club-led interiors and wayfinding, they strengthen identity while improving the feel of the space for members, athletes, staff and guests.

Window Film & Glass Manifestation

Window film improves privacy, comfort and visual consistency across glazed sports and leisure interiors without changing the existing structure. Frosted, decorative and manifestation films can be used on hospitality suites, bar glazing, studios and internal partitions to support safety, branding and a more finished interior appearance.

Sports & leisure refurbishment solutions built for live environments

Sports and leisure environments rarely have the luxury of shutting down for refurbishment. Our work is planned around access, activity schedules and day-to-day operations, helping venues upgrade interiors in phases, out of hours and with minimal disruption to members, guests, athletes and staff.

Out-of-hours installation

Refurbishment can be scheduled outside member peaks, training sessions and event windows to reduce disruption across active sports and leisure environments.

Phased refurbishment

Works can be delivered in phases by zone, suite or facility area, helping venues stay usable while different parts of the environment are upgraded in planned stages.

Minimal disruption

Programmes can be planned around fixtures, training schedules, restricted access periods and short operational windows so venues can return to use quickly.

RAMS and compliance

We provide RAMS and site-specific planning to support safe, well-managed delivery within operational sports venues, training facilities and leisure environments.

Coordination with teams

Programmes can be coordinated with estates teams, venue managers, contractors and operational stakeholders so refurbishment works fit the reality of how the facility runs.

Clean handover

Each area is left clean, presentable and ready for continued use, helping operators reopen upgraded spaces quickly with minimal impact on members, athletes, staff or guests.

Rosie Christie

Co-Founder

Older than the rest of the team, but not necessarily wiser as she’d like to think. There’s not an activity under the sun that she’s not been willing to have a go at, resulting in a mediocre ukulele player, part-time blogger, one-time skydiver and an unfinished sitcom script. There’s no room for shades of grey in this half of the partnership; everything comes down to looking after people who are important.

Organising tradesmen is not a task for the fainthearted. But recruiting the right tradesmen, ones who align with our values and are highly skilled at what they do makes for a much more harmonious project management process. Rosie’s role begins with a meeting to discuss your requirements, providing you with a quotation and carries through to the on-site management of your project.

Jade Mitchell

Co-Founder

She’s the only Southerner on the team, but we try not to hold it against her too much. If anything, we’ve enjoyed introducing Jade to a vast number of pie shops now she’s a Northern resident. Standing at a phenomenal 5’2”, she is living proof that big things come in small packages; a mix of infectious enthusiasm, laughter, loyalty, authority and uncanny Theresa May impressions.

Communicating with our clients is Jade’s forte. Being highly organised and placing customer satisfaction at the forefront of everything she does means that from enquiry to completion, your queries will be dealt with efficiently. For an in depth knowledge of the material specification of our interior film, Jade is your woman. She will put your mind at rest that not only do we install this product, but we make sure that is the most suitable for your needs.
