0115-824-4201
Worktop wrapping is one of the quicker jobs we take on as part of the wider Nottingham Kitchen Fitter business, sitting alongside full kitchen design and fit-outs for households across Nottingham and the East Midlands. If your worktops are structurally sound but tired-looking, it's usually the fastest, least disruptive way to get a new-look kitchen without touching cabinets, plumbing or electrics.Book a free home visit and we'll tell you honestly whether wrapping will work for your worktops or whether a full replacement makes more sense - there's no pressure either way, just a straight answer and a written quote to work from.
Worktop Wrapping or Full Replacement: How the Two Actually Compare
| Worktop Wrapping | Full Worktop Replacement | |
|---|---|---|
| Typical cost | £45-65 per metre (from around £545 for a small kitchen) | £80-300+ per metre, plus fitting |
| Time on site | Usually one day, kitchen stays usable throughout | Several days - old worktops removed, new ones laser-templated and fitted |
| What's involved | Vinyl applied directly over your existing worktops, no plumbing or electrical disconnection | Old surfaces stripped out, sinks and hobs reset, new stone, quartz or laminate fitted by stonemasons |
| Best suited to | Worktops that are level, stable and under roughly 20 years old | Worktops that are damaged, warped, or where you want to change the layout |
| Guarantee | 10-year guarantee on vinyl adhesion and materials, 2-year workmanship guarantee | Covered by our standard 5-year labour and 2-year product guarantee |
The Standards Behind Every Job, Not Just the Big Kitchen Fits
Wrapping only works if what's underneath is solid, so before we quote we're checking for water damage around the sink, delamination at the seams, and any lippage where two lengths of laminate meet - the kind of faults a full replacement would just bury under new stone rather than fix. That's really the difference in how we work: we'll tell you when a worktop isn't a good wrapping candidate instead of taking the job anyway and hoping the vinyl holds. It also comes down to who's actually on site - as a family-run business rather than a franchise, there's no handover between whoever priced your job and whoever turns up to cut and fit the vinyl. Scope and price go in writing before anything is cut, and our Construction Industry Training Board and Federation of Small Businesses membership, plus a registered waste carrier licence, apply whether we're wrapping a single worktop or fitting a whole kitchen around it.
Where We Cover, From Wollaton to the Derbyshire Border
Wollaton and Sneinton jobs tend to be the easiest to slot in at short notice, since they're closest to our base and often bookable within a day or two of calling. Sneinton's older terraced kitchens frequently still have laminate worktops from the same era as the units, and these usually wrap well as long as the substrate underneath hasn't gone soft. Heading into Derbyshire, Derby and Long Eaton are close enough that we schedule them the same way as a Nottingham job, and Alfreton and Heanor aren't far behind - all comfortably reachable within a normal working day. Kirkby-in-Ashfield sits on the Nottinghamshire side of that same stretch and gets booked on the same basis. Chesterfield is close to the outer edge of where we cover, so for postcodes out that way we'd rather confirm a same-day slot on the phone than promise one here.
