The Manchester College

The Brief

As a returning client, Manchester College specified Fusion Surfaces to carry out the vinyl wrapping element of a large-scale refurbishment at their Nicholls Campus. The toilet blocks in question were outdated – pink, 1990s-style fittings -and needed to visually match the newer bathrooms being installed elsewhere on site. While some of the other blocks were deemed unsuitable for wrapping, these particular areas were structurally sound, making them ideal candidates for a fast, high-impact transformation.
Location:
Manchester
Duration:
4 days
Sector:
Student Accommodation

The Solution

We carried out a full site survey to assess surface condition and advise on suitable finishes. A curated selection of samples was sent to the client, who selected two from the Metamark MiA range – a stone effect and a woodgrain – chosen to complement the new cubicle installations. Our scope also included removing and reinstating the sinks, and re-siliconing to provide a clean, finished look.

The Process

Working to the main contractor’s programme, we assembled an experienced install team and scheduled the job for efficient delivery across three toilet blocks. Over the course of just four days, we wrapped:

• Cubicles
• IPS panels
• Boxing in
• Vanity units
• Access panels and doors

All works were completed within live site constraints and integrated smoothly alongside other trades.

The Transformation

The result was a complete visual shift: from tired pink laminates to a modern, cohesive look that tied in with the newly installed bathrooms. The stone and wood finishes provided warmth and contrast, delivering a premium appearance without the cost or disruption of replacement.

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.
