The Brief

Following a successful first project, B&B Hotels returned to Fusion Surfaces to assist with the next phase of their refurbishment programme – this time at their Ipswich location. The brief: wrap and restore 125 bedroom doors, plus stairwell and riser cupboard doors, all of which were in poor condition. Many doors had been damaged from years of use, with issues including binding on hinges, surface wear, and general misalignment. The aim was to deliver a modern, on-brand finish while improving functionality and avoiding full door replacement.

The Solution

We proposed a two-team strategy to meet the client’s goals:

• A joinery team to remove, prepare, and rehang the doors – resolving hinge issues and ensuring correct fit

• A vinyl wrapping team to deliver a clean, high-end finish using architectural film in an oak woodgrain chosen to match the hotel’s brand and new interior decor

This approach allowed for efficient sequencing, reduced on-site disruption, and guaranteed a complete, finished result – both visually and practically.

The Process

The project was delivered in five phases, aligning with the hotel’s live refurbishment programme and ensuring minimal disruption to operations.

Each door was:

• Carefully removed by joiners
• Prepped and repaired where needed
• Wrapped by our installation team using durable, wipe-clean film
• Rehung, checked and adjusted to resolve long-standing fit issues

The use of two dedicated teams ensured both speed and quality across all stages.

The Transformation

The doors were transformed from dark, dingy black paint to a bright, oak-effect woodgrain, which lifted the feel of the entire corridor and aligned perfectly with the updated interior scheme.
The difference wasn’t just cosmetic: all doors were realigned and refitted correctly, resolving issues that had built up over time and improving the overall guest experience.

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.
