Vinyl wrapping your own kitchen is absolutely possible and specifically designed to be DIY-friendly. With self-adhesive, bubble-free vinyl and simple tools like a squeegee and a utility knife, most homeowners can complete the project in a weekend. As long as surfaces are smooth, clean, and dry, wrapping kitchen cupboards, drawers, and worktops can be done without professional help.

Kitchen vinyl wrap is heat proof up to 75°C, making it suitable for areas near kettles, toasters, and indirect heat sources. However, it should not come into direct contact with hot pans, oven doors, or open flames. Using heat shields or trivets is recommended in high-temperature zones to protect the finish.

The cost of a kitchen vinyl wrap typically ranges from £20 to £400 depending on the size of the kitchen and the quality of the material. DIY projects using mid-range vinyl come in around £150–£250, while premium finishes or hiring an installer can push it closer to £500. It’s still significantly cheaper than replacing units or getting a new kitchen.

A vinyl-wrapped kitchen can last between 5 and 10 years when applied correctly and maintained well. Durability depends on factors like surface prep, cleaning habits, and exposure to heat or moisture. High-quality wraps resist daily wear, making them a long-lasting choice for kitchen makeovers.
