How Much Is Kitchen Wrapping

Wrapping works with the cupboards, worktops and units already fixed to your kitchen, bonding a new finish onto them instead of tearing them out.

It can transform your kitchen for up to 70% less than ripping everything out and starting again.

Two things decide where a job lands within that saving.

How many surfaces you choose to wrap, and which of our three ranges suits the wear each one takes.

Wrapping can save up to 70% versus a new kitchen

Ripping a kitchen out for a full replacement pulls in joiners, electricians and plumbers, since new units mean rewiring and replumbing too.

On top of whatever flooring or plastering the demolition disturbs, every added trade adds its own bill, and the waste goes to landfill once it’s stripped out.

Wrapping sidesteps nearly the whole list.

Nothing gets pulled out and the pipework, wiring and structure behind your cabinets never gets touched.

Preparing and bonding the vinyl to what’s already there is what pushes the saving up to 70% against a comparable new kitchen.

That figure moves depending on the job.

A full transformation across every surface naturally costs more than a handful of cupboard doors.

Even at the larger end, wrapping stays well below the cost of starting from scratch, making it worth well worth it.

What you can wrap in your kitchen

Cupboard doors and drawer fronts are where most jobs start.

A full run of doors changes the whole feel of a kitchen without structural work, priced per door rather than as one flat cost.

Worktops are the other major element, and they take the heaviest daily wear in the kitchen.

Heat from pans, knife marks and spills all land there first.

That’s why worktops need a thicker, tougher material than a cupboard door, priced per linear metre instead of per door.

Splashbacks, end panels and kickplates round out most jobs, and each costs less individually than a full door or worktop run.

You don’t have to wrap a whole kitchen in one visit either. Doors this year and a worktop next year works just as well.

Three vinyl wrap ranges for your kitchen cabinets and worktops

Range choice is the biggest single factor in what a job costs, because each range uses a different thickness of vinyl wrap and carries a different length of guarantee.

Labour cost stays fairly steady across all three.

The material and its durability are what shift the number.

Classic: the entry point for light-use surfaces

Classic is our thinnest film, at 100 microns, and comes with three years of cover against fading and cracks appearing.

It works well on flat, low-contact surfaces such as end panels and kickplates, though worktops are outside what it’s designed for.

It’s the right choice when a kitchen sees light use and the budget needs to stretch further, without needing every surface to carry the heaviest-duty finish available.

Signature: where many kitchens land

Signature steps up to 150-250 micron film, with a 7-year guarantee that adds delamination cover on top of fading and cracking.

That thickness handles moderate curves, coving, and the daily contact cupboards and drawers deal with in a busy household.

Most of our customers end up here by default.

Light use points them back to Classic instead, and worktops or other heavy-wear surfaces push them up to Luxury.

Luxury: the only range built for worktops

Luxury is our heaviest-duty option, an architectural-grade film running 200 to 370 microns thick.

It’s rated for ten to twelve years of use, resisting fading, cracking and delamination through that whole period.

It also copes with heat and moisture in a way the other two ranges can’t manage, which is exactly the level of protection a worktop needs.

Choosing Luxury for a whole kitchen costs more than Classic or Signature, but the longer guarantee and wider surface coverage reflect that.

Mixing ranges within one kitchen is common too.

Match what each surface has to withstand rather than applying one finish everywhere by default.

Luxury goes on the worktop where the wear is heaviest, and Signature covers the doors where it isn’t.

Kitchen wrapping: your questions answered

Can I get my kitchen doors rewrapped if I only want a few done?

Yes, doors and drawer fronts can be wrapped individually, so a handful of tired kitchen cupboards doesn’t mean committing to the whole room. There’s nothing stopping worktops or splashbacks being added in a second visit later.

Are wrapped kitchens heat-resistant and durable?

It depends on the range. Luxury includes heat and moisture resistance built for kitchen worktops, while Classic and Signature are designed for surfaces that don’t face direct heat, like doors and end panels.

Can damaged cupboard doors still be wrapped?

Minor wear and dated colours wrap well, but significant damage doesn’t. Swelling from water ingress or a cracked panel usually needs repair or replacement first, since wrapping bonds to the surface rather than fixing what’s underneath it.

What finishes are available across the three ranges?

All three ranges come in a wide choice of colours and textures, from solid matte and gloss shades to wood, marble and concrete effects. Availability varies slightly by range, since some finishes are only produced in the thicker architectural films.

What problems come up with kitchen wrapping, and how do we avoid them?

Poor surface preparation is the most common cause of early lifting or peeling. That’s why every job starts with cleaning and prepping the substrate properly before any vinyl goes on. Matching the range to the surface, worktops on Luxury instead of Classic, prevents the second most common issue. It stops a finish wearing faster than it should.

Get a fair estimate for your kitchen

A two-door refresh and a full kitchen transformation are different jobs, which is why a flat number would be misleading rather than useful.

Wrapping stays well under the cost of replacement whichever range and elements you pick, and we’ll show you exactly where your job lands once we’ve seen it.
