Premier Inn

The Brief

Premier Inn, the UK’s largest hotel chain, were looking to update the bathrooms in one of their hotels without the significant cost and disruption of replacing the existing sinks. The existing sinks, which were in the brand colours of the previous owners, clashed with the newly refurbished rooms.

The Solution

Interior vinyl wrapping was presented as a cost-effective and efficient solution for updating the sinks. This process offered the ability to transform the appearance of the sinks without the need for full replacements.

The Process

The vinyl wrapping project at Premier Inn involved several key steps:

  1. Material Selection: We worked with Premier Inn to source appropriate samples. Premier Inn selected a marble-effect vinyl from the LX Hausys range to match the desired look for the refurbished bathrooms.

  2. Phased Installation: The project was divided into phases of approximately 30 sinks at a time to minimise disruption to the hotel’s operations.

  3. Vinyl Application: Our skilled installer carefully applied the vinyl to each sink, ensuring a precise and seamless finish. The process, including the removal of existing silicone, preparation, and reinstalling the silicone, took approximately one hour per sink.

The Transformation

This project significantly enhanced the appearance of the bathrooms at Premier Inn. The updated sinks, with their new marble-effect finish, created a more modern and luxurious look which fitted with the new rooms and improved the aesthetic from a guest point of view.

Client Advantages

Premier Inn benefited from choosing vinyl wrapping for their bathroom refurbishment:

  • Cost-effective: Vinyl wrapping offered a more affordable solution compared to replacing the sinks, resulting in significant cost savings for the hotel.

  • Minimal disruption: The phased approach to the project minimised disruption to the hotel’s operations, ensuring that the rooms were not out of use for more than an hour at a time.

  • Enhanced visual appeal: The updated sinks created a more modern and luxurious bathroom environment, elevating the overall guest experience.

  • Quick turnaround: The efficient installation process allowed for rapid completion of the project, minimising downtime for the hotel rooms.

  • Positive feedback: The hotel manager expressed satisfaction with the results, stating that the vinyl wrapping “transformed the whole bathroom.”

Conclusion

The vinyl wrapping project at Premier Inn demonstrated the effectiveness of this technique for refurbishing hotel bathrooms. By choosing interior vinyl wrapping, Premier Inn was able to achieve a high-quality, cost-effective, and minimally disruptive solution for updating their guest rooms.

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.
