📌 Bank loan or Breakfast?:

If you’re tired of your kitchen’s outdated look but not ready to spend thousands on a full renovation, you’re not alone. In 2025, more homeowners across Northern England are choosing vinyl kitchen wrapping over full replacements — and for good reason.

Let’s break down the differences to help you make the right choice for your home and budget.

On average a homeowner spends between £6,000 - £25,000+ on a new kitchen which can mean in many cases a re mortgage.  Our customers spend on average between £300 - £1,500 which broken down on a months salary is a full English breakfast per day. It's a huge comparison when you realise you can get the look you are wanting for less than a fraction of the price.  With the additional savings you can even have your wardrobes and furniture wrapped, get the full home look you've been dreaming of.. even stretch it to a cheeky holiday for yourself too.

To add to this when working on a budget, you become limited to what you can have in the new kitchen and you may end up with a colour you didn't originally want.  With vinyl wraps we have a huge variety of colours, finishes and prints available and for not much more you have the option to upgrade your vinyl so there is always something suitable to your budget.

💷 Cost Comparison 

Full replacement: £6,000–£25,000+ depending on size and fittings

Vinyl wrapping: From just £400–£1,500 for a full kitchen makeover, which would be that beautiful colour you have your eye on and that marble worktop you have saved to your Pinterest!

You keep your existing units and simply apply a high-quality, durable vinyl film in a style of your choice — matte, gloss, stone, wood grain and more.

If your doors, end panels, kick boards are blown, bubbling or water damaged and simply past repair.. we can help with that too. Giving your original kitchen a further facelift and still keeping cost down.

⏱  Time & Disruption 

• Kitchen replacement can take 1–3 weeks, with major disruption, dust, and limited kitchen access.

• Vinyl wrapping is usually done in just one day by our experienced team at Deco Vinyl Wraps — with zero mess.

No need to dismantle your kitchen or relocate appliances.

🌍 Sustainability 

Why rip out perfectly good cabinets? well let me explain why there is no real need to:

Vinyl wrapping is a low-waste, eco-conscious solution. You reuse your existing kitchen structure and avoid sending bulky materials to landfill.

Plus, we only use premium professional grade vinyls that are free from harmful solvents and designed to last for years.

It is completely Tenant friendly so your landlord has a happy wallet.  In fact we work with many landlords where they have a new re wrap with every tenancy turnover, which typically is every 4-6 years. 

It's now as popular and as versatile as painting out your walls.

🎨 Style & Flexibility 

Want to go from wood grain to concrete? Gloss white to matte black?

With hundreds of finishes available, vinyl wrapping lets you:

• Match trending kitchen styles

• Try bold or textured looks

• Wrap worktops, splashbacks, and appliances for a full refresh

Add on additional extras such as soft closing hinges, fresh handles and kick board lights.

Unlike many out there.. we offer in house accidental damage cover on standard range worktop vinyl, this is peace of mind for a solid 12 month, just another solution to helping our customers gain more from their service.

“My wife for years spoke of having a blue matte kitchen, although I wanted to give her that dream I just couldn't bring myself to be splashing out 5k just on the chance she didn't like it after. I found Deco and they did it within a day and I actually think the blue is much nicer than what my wife was originally looking at. Happy wife, happy life and I'm quid's in.”
