vinyl covered units

[jill gil]

Hi I'm new to this!
I have a mobile home in Essex, the vinyl covering the mdf on the table top, coffee table top and the top of the TV unit has bubbled and creased beyond repair, I'm looking for a solution, it seems impossible to find a company that replaces the vinyl, but the TV units are built in, would it be possible to replace just the tops? any suggestions Please?!

You could remove the vinyl completely and replace with formica type product stuck on with contact adhesive.

Hello and welcome.
I think that owing to the shapes of you're units,fitting Formica will be rather difficult for a beginner, and it can be tricky to cut and fit, Personally, I would look to making patterns for the areas you wish to cover.and use an adhesive that allows some movement when sticking in place.
This link may help you get an idea, there's 3 in the series,--

Don't forget there is Fablon on a roll, self adhesive, in many colours and patterns, and possibly very similar to what you are removing, and probably easier to fix, but won't last as long as Formica.

PS I use this stuff, it allows an amount of movement to adjust the formica sheet
