Kitchen Wrap Prices
Kitchen wrapping is a way to update the appearance of existing kitchen doors, drawer fronts and other suitable surfaces without replacing the entire kitchen. It can be worth considering if your cabinets are structurally sound but look dated.
What affects the cost of kitchen wrapping?
The cost of wrapping a kitchen depends on several factors:
- Number of doors and drawers: More surfaces generally mean more material and labour.
- Door style: Flat doors can be quicker to wrap than detailed shaker-style doors.
- Condition of the existing kitchen: Peeling finishes, damaged edges, grease or loose coatings may make the preparation more complicated. Some surfaces may not be suitable for wrapping.
- Choice of vinyl: Different colours, textures and finishes can have different material costs.
- Additional surfaces: End panels, exposed carcasses, plinths and worktops can increase the total price.
- Installation and travel: The location of the property and the complexity of the work can affect the quotation.
Is kitchen wrapping cheaper than a new kitchen?
Wrapping can cost less than a full kitchen replacement because it may allow you to retain your existing cabinets and layout. However, the saving depends on the condition of the kitchen, the surfaces being changed and the finish you want.
If your cabinets are damaged, swollen from moisture or poorly fitted, replacing them may be the more sensible option.
How can I get an accurate quote?
The best starting point is to count your doors and drawers and take clear photographs of the kitchen, including the door edges and any damaged areas. A professional installer can then assess suitability and provide a quotation based on the actual work required.
