Ceramic Coating in Bristol & Bradley Stoke

Our ceramic coatings start from £399 for a 1-year coating, £549 for 3-year and £749 for 5-year, with our flagship 10-year graphene coating from £1,000. Every price includes full decontamination, a stage-1 machine polish and an aftercare kit. The exact figure depends on your car's size and paint condition, so we confirm it with a quick quote.

If you want your paint to stay glossy and easy to clean for years rather than weeks, yes. It gives a hard, hydrophobic layer that repels water and grime, protects against UV fading and light wash marring, and means dirt rinses off far more easily. It costs more than a wax up front but lasts years instead of months, and keeps the car looking its best for longer.

Our packages are 1-year, 3-year and 5-year ceramic coatings, plus a 10-year graphene coating (and a 4–6 month spray sealant add-on). Real-world life depends on how the car is used, where it's kept and how it's washed, so professional application and following the aftercare instructions are key to longevity.

A new car is a great candidate — the paint is at its best, so a coating protects that finish from the start. New cars aren't always perfect from the dealer, though, which is why every coating includes decontamination and a Stage 1 machine polish first, so any prep marks are dealt with before the coating locks the finish in.

Wax sits on top of the paint and lasts a few weeks to a couple of months. A ceramic coating chemically bonds to the paint and lasts years, with far stronger protection against water spotting and UV, plus a slicker, glossier, more hydrophobic finish. Wax is great for a quick refresh; ceramic is the long-term protection option.

Graphene is the newer technology: better water behaviour, less water spotting in hot weather, a slightly slicker feel and the longest life, which is why our 10-year flagship is a graphene coating. A quality ceramic coating still performs superbly — graphene is the top-tier choice if you want the ultimate finish and longevity.

Yes — and it's easier, because dirt slides off more readily. Use pH-neutral products and gentle hand-washing methods, avoid harsh automatic car washes, and follow the aftercare instructions that come with your coating. Every coating includes an aftercare kit, and we can maintain it for you with a hand wash at the studio.

No. No coating guarantees permanent scratch or stain prevention. Ceramic greatly reduces light swirls and surface marks and offers excellent protection against UV, chemicals and environmental contamination, but careful washing and drying still matter.

A spray sealant can be done the same day as a wash or valet. Multi-year coatings typically take one to two days, including decontamination, polishing, application and curing, so you'll usually leave the car with us.

Every multi-year coating already includes a Stage 1 machine polish, because a coating locks in the current condition of your paint. If your paint has deeper swirls or scratches, we can quote for additional correction (such as a Stage 2 polish) beforehand.
