Over Community Centre
The Brief
A busy community centre in Cambridge needed a cost-effective way to refresh its male and female bathrooms without causing major interruptions to its daily activities. The scope? A full wrap of IPS panels, frames, cubicle systems, doors, and vanity units. With budget and convenience as top priorities, vinyl wrapping quickly emerged as the ideal solution.

The Consultation
Before diving in, our team visited the centre to assess the bathrooms’ condition. We discovered that while the fixtures were structurally sound, they needed a fair bit of TLC. “It was essential to repair and prep each surface,” explained one of our lead installers. We also noted that some of the cubicle fittings were worn out, so we arranged to replace them as part of the project to ensure a polished, longer-lasting result.
The Process
Armed with a clear plan, we dismantled the cubicles for a thorough restoration and wrapping. The aim was to complete the entire project in just three days. By coordinating with the centre’s schedule, we kept the usual activities running smoothly. A combination of strategic planning and experienced installers meant that patching, sanding, and wrapping could happen swiftly—without sacrificing quality.
The Transformation
Thanks to precise repairs and a keen eye for detail, the wrapped panels, doors, and vanities instantly refreshed the bathrooms’ appearance. Gone were the signs of wear; in their place, a fresh and cohesive design that aligned with the centre’s friendly, welcoming vibe.
The Outcome
The quick turnaround was a win for everyone involved. The bathrooms stayed functional for the majority of the project, and there was no need for extensive demolition or messy construction work. Once the final pieces were in place, the bathrooms looked brand new—better reflecting the centre’s dedication to serving the community in a comfortable, well-maintained environment.
Client Advantages
- Cost Savings: Wrapping turned out to be a fraction of the cost compared to a full rip-and-replace renovation.
- Minimal Disruption: With only three days on site, the centre remained open for regular programs and events.
- Sustainable Choice: Reusing the existing fixtures meant less waste going to landfill and fewer materials consumed.
- Quality Enhancement: Replacing worn fittings and doing thorough repairs extended the lifespan of the bathroom fixtures.
Conclusion
This community centre in Cambridge demonstrates how thoughtful repairs, combined with architectural vinyl wrapping, can revamp essential spaces with little downtime and at a sensible price. By sidestepping the pitfalls of a complete replacement, the centre maintained its busy schedule and ended up with bathrooms that look as good as new.
