Kitchen Wrapping in London: Three Specialist Companies to Compare
Kitchen wrapping means covering your existing cupboard doors, drawer fronts, end panels and sometimes worktops with architectural vinyl film. It changes the colour and finish of a kitchen without taking anything out, so the units, plumbing and appliances stay where they are. Most kitchens take one to two days rather than the weeks a refit needs. A small group of London companies do this as their main trade. This guide sets out what three of them offer, so you can compare them before asking for quotes.
KWrap
KWrap is a vinyl wrapping specialist based in Kensington, London. It wraps kitchens (cabinets, doors and worktops) and also does architectural wrapping for internal and front doors, window frames, wardrobes, bathrooms and furniture, plus commercial interiors such as offices, hotels, lifts and shops. It also re-wraps vinyl doors that have started peeling or lifting.

How to choose a kitchen wrapping company in London
- Ask which film is used. Architectural films from established makers are designed for interiors and rated for heat, moisture and wear. Cheap self-adhesive vinyl is not the same product.
- Get the guarantee in writing. Ask how long it lasts and whether it covers the film, the fitting or both.
- Look at edges and corners. A wrap is judged where the film is heated, stretched and sealed round each edge. Ask for close-up photos of finished doors.
- See a real sample. Colours on a screen rarely match film in your own light.
- Get a fixed price. Photos are usually enough for a guide price, and a survey confirms it.
How much does kitchen wrapping cost in London?
The price depends on how many doors and panels there are, whether worktops are included, and the finish chosen. As a guide, Kitchen Wrapping London lists prices from £399, with most London kitchens between £750 and £2,500. Wrapping usually costs far less than a new kitchen, because the carcasses, worktops and appliances stay in place.
How long does a kitchen wrap last?
With normal use, a well-fitted architectural film typically lasts 5 to 10 years, according to Kitchen Wrapping London. It is wipe-clean, and it can be removed or changed later without damaging a sound surface underneath.
