Can You Respray Vinyl-Wrapped Kitchens?

If your kitchen cabinets are peeling, bubbling, or lifting at the edges, chances are they’re vinyl-wrapped doors. It’s a common problem across the UK — particularly with kitchens that are 5–10 years old. The good news? You don’t have to replace the whole kitchen. At Bespoke Spray, we specialise in respraying vinyl-wrapped kitchens, transforming tired doors into durable, premium finishes that look better than new.

Why Vinyl Wrap Fails

Vinyl wrap is essentially a thin plastic film heat-pressed onto MDF. Over time, heat and steam from kettles, ovens, and everyday use cause:

• Peeling edges (especially near handles and appliances)

• Bubbling or lifting across panels

• Cracks or splits in high-use areas

Once vinyl starts to fail, it can’t simply be glued back down — replacement or refinishing is the only long-term solution.

The Bespoke Spray Solution

At Bespoke Spray, we remove failing vinyl and take your doors back to a stable base. From there, we run them through our two-week spray process:

1. De-wrapping – all failing vinyl is removed.

2. Preparation – surfaces are stabilised, filled where needed, and sanded smooth.

3. Priming – multiple coats of high-adhesion primer, cured and checked under different lighting.

4. Spraying – finished in your chosen colour (Farrow & Ball, Little Greene, or custom-matched).

5. Final finish – durable, factory-smooth sheen that resists heat, stains, and everyday use.

   
   
   
   

Case Study: From Wood-Effect Vinyl to White

Kitchen before respray – wood-effect vinyl doors peeling in Cardiff

Kitchen respray after – bright white sprayed cabinets by Bespoke Spray Cardiff

This client in Ystrad Mynach's kitchen was originally fitted with wood-effect vinyl-wrapped doors. Over time, the vinyl began to peel and bubble — particularly near the oven and kettle. The cabinets themselves were structurally sound, but visually the kitchen looked tired and dated.

Instead of replacing, we stripped away all the failing vinyl, fully prepared and primed the surfaces, and refinished the entire kitchen in a clean, contemporary white spray finish.

The result was transformative: the space instantly felt brighter, larger, and more modern. The client avoided the cost and waste of a full replacement while gaining a durable, premium finish that will last for years to come.

Cost vs Replacement

• Respray vinyl-wrapped kitchen: typically £1,800–£4,500 depending on size and layout.

• Full replacement kitchen: often £10,000–£30,000+ once you include units, worktops, fitting, and trades.

Spraying your vinyl kitchen isn’t just cost-effective — it’s sustainable. You keep your carcasses, avoid unnecessary waste, and still get a premium finish.

FAQs About Vinyl Kitchen Spraying

Can you spray directly over vinyl? We don’t recommend it. The bond is only as strong as the weakest point — which is why we always strip failing vinyl first.

How long will a resprayed vinyl kitchen last? With correct prep and professional spraying, expect 5–15 years of durability.

Will I be without a kitchen for two weeks? No — we phase the work so you can still access appliances. Doors and drawers are taken to our workshop while carcasses are finished on site.
