Kitchen wrapping landlord share the cost?

[Booboooo]

Been renting for 7 years terrace house resonable state of repair. Over the last year ive repainted all downstairs ealls
Bathroom and stairs and landing. All in the same original colour and just to freshen up. Ive also stained all fences, small shed and small area of.decking in back garden. I also power wash all pavement slabs front and back. I think ive done more than enough to ensure the house is neat and tidy. I can not stand the kitchen one bit horrible lemon coloured walls and red units. I have had a quote for vinyl wrapping £400 for gallery style.kitchen. i would love the bice grey sleek look thats cutrently in fashion. Heres the AIBU. My DH thinks it would be rude to ask landlord to pay half. Im of the thinking that it would benefit us and them and if you dont ask you dont get. I appreciate its not work that NEEDS doing. But if i offered half then maybe they might be persuaded? Am i being a C.F. for even thinking of asking? First world problem i know!!

Just curious if those saying there is a problem with wrapping bubbling and peeling are talking about the professional work. Or self adhesive vinyl you buy in a diy store.

Ours were already done, user. I believe they were made that way. Someone had a samovar below one of the doors and it had begun to peel and bubble, and when we moved in I found the same thing with the toaster, have ensured that steamy things are positioned away from the door edges since then.

I wouldn't necessarily say no to a decor change or immediately discount a contribution but I wouldn't let a tenant wrap a kitchen, let alone pay towards it; it ages badly and can be an awful faff to remove if needs be (though I'm sure it depends on the type etc). There was professional wrapping done on the cabinets of our house and although they look ok from a distance and from certain angles, up close they are peeling around any appliances or heavy use doors. It looks crap and we only left it because taking it off on a non visible test strip left a huge job of removing sticky crap from the original wood underneath that nothing would properly remove.

Don't ask don't get though OP? Maybe your landlord would allow you to paint instead, replace handles etc.

Thanks @dontgobaconmyheart my sil knows a man that does professional wrapping.... she's considering it which made me think about it. Good to hear painting is better.

I think for the sake of £400 you just pay for it yourself. There may in the future be more important things that you may want to ask landlord to contribute to.
