How Much Does Kitchen Wrapping Cost? (UK 2026)

Vinyl wrapping transforms tired kitchen doors and panels for a fraction of a replacement. In 2026, kitchen wrapping costs £900-£2,500 fitted in the UK, driven mainly by the number of doors and drawers. A small kitchen is around £900-£1,400, a medium kitchen £1,400-£1,900, and a large kitchen £1,800-£2,500. That is typically a third to a fifth of the cost of new doors or a full refit. Here is the 2026 ladder.

Kitchen Wrapping Cost by Size & Scope

Price scales with how many doors, drawer fronts and panels are wrapped, the film quality, and whether worktops or splashbacks are included. Wrapping reuses your existing carcasses, so it is quick and low-waste. Here is what to expect in 2026.

Small kitchen (up to ~10 units)

£900-£1,400. Doors, drawer fronts and visible end panels wrapped in standard vinyl. A 1-2 day job with minimal disruption.

Medium kitchen (~10-15 units)

£1,400-£1,900. The typical family kitchen. Includes doors, drawers, panels and usually a couple of appliance fronts.

Large kitchen (15+ units)

£1,800-£2,500. Bigger kitchen-diners with island units and tall larder doors. More surfaces and prep time push the price up.

Premium / textured films

Add 15-30%. Matt, woodgrain, marble-effect and anti-fingerprint films cost more than standard gloss vinyl but look and wear better.

Worktops & splashbacks (optional)

Wrapping worktops adds £150-£450. It refreshes the look but is less durable than the doors - many people wrap doors only and replace worktops separately.

What is included

Cleaning, degreasing and priming surfaces, removing and rehanging doors, and trimming film neatly around edges and handles. A quality wrap depends on prep as much as the film.

Yes - usually a third to a fifth of the cost. New doors or a refit run into thousands; wrapping reuses your carcasses and just re-skins the visible surfaces.
A well-prepped, quality wrap lasts 5-10 years. Heat near hobs and heavy wear can shorten that. Textured and premium films tend to last longer than budget gloss.
1-2 days for most kitchens. Doors are often removed, wrapped and rehung, so the kitchen stays usable through the work.
You can, for ยฃ150-ยฃ450 extra, but worktops take more wear than doors. Many homeowners wrap the doors and replace the worktop for the best result.
For a structurally sound kitchen that just looks dated, yes - it is a fast, low-cost refresh. If units are damaged or the layout is wrong, a refit is better value.
