Ceramic Coating in Stratford-upon-Avon
Professional-grade ceramic protection, applied where your car lives. Proper preparation first — and an honest answer on whether your paint is ready for it.
Two kinds of car meet a ceramic coating around Stratford. The first lives in one of the villages — Shottery, Snitterfield, Welford, Bidford, Long Marston — and spends its life on lanes that leave mud, dust and agricultural residue across the lower half of every panel. The second is a car that does not do many miles at all but sits outside on a drive in a tree-lined town, collecting sap and bird droppings between outings. A coating solves a different problem for each, and both problems are about what bonds to the paint while nobody is looking.
On the rural car, a coating means the mud rinses instead of needing to be scrubbed — and scrubbing dried mud is one of the fastest ways to put fine scratches into lacquer. On the car that sits, it means the sap and droppings that would etch into bare paint within days sit on the coating instead, and lift with a wash rather than a polish. In both cases the coating is buying time: time before contamination does harm, and time between washes.
We apply coatings at home across Stratford and the villages, and where a car has defects we say so before quoting. Older paint that has been through a few summers on a drive often benefits from a light correction first; a newer car usually does not. Coating-only starts at £250, correction is priced separately, and every coating comes with a full warranty and aftercare package.
Who It Suits
Why Stratford-upon-Avon Owners Book Ceramic Coating
Cars on rural lanes
Mud, farm residue and grit dry onto paint and then get ground in at the next wash. On a coated car they release with a rinse, which removes the single most common cause of scratching on village-kept vehicles.
Cars that sit outside between drives
Tree sap and bird droppings etch bare lacquer within days in warm weather. A coating gives you a margin — the contamination sits on the surface and washes off, rather than having to be polished out of the paint.
Cherished cars that still get used
A car kept for weekends and shows is washed less often and expected to look better when it is. A coating keeps the finish where correction left it and makes the pre-event wash quick, gentle and reliable.
The Process
How We Carry Out Ceramic Coating
Inspection
Paint assessed under proper light. We tell you whether it needs correcting first, or whether coating-only is the right call.
Decontamination
Safe wash, iron fallout removal, tar removal and clay bar so the coating bonds to clean lacquer rather than to whatever was sitting on it.
Refinement
A light machine polish where the paint benefits from it, then an IPA wipe-down so no polishing oils remain under the coating.
Application
Coating applied panel by panel in controlled conditions, levelled and checked before moving on.
Cure & handover
Initial cure on site, then clear aftercare guidance — how to wash it, what to avoid, and when it is safe to get wet.
Worth knowing: A ceramic coating resists chemical attack and makes washing safer and easier. It does not make paint scratch-proof, and it will not hide defects — it preserves whatever condition the paint is in when it goes on.

Why Owners Trust Us
The Reassurance Comes Before the Result
Handing over a vehicle you care about takes a certain amount of trust. These are the things owners tell us mattered most before they booked.
One pair of hands
Every vehicle is worked on personally by Josh May. There is no rotating crew, no subcontracting and no trainee learning on your paintwork — the person who quotes the job is the person who carries it out.
Assessed before anything is touched
Paint is inspected, and where it matters, measured. Some vehicles need correcting; some genuinely do not. We would rather talk you out of work you do not need than sell it to you.
Prestige and specialist vehicles as routine
Rolls-Royce, Bentley, Aston Martin, Porsche, Lamborghini, Range Rover, AMG, classics and modern performance cars are regular work for us — alongside family cars, vans and everything in between.
Fully mobile, fully self-sufficient
We arrive with our own water supply and professional equipment. Your vehicle is never driven away, never left on someone else's premises and never handed to a third party.
Deliberately limited availability
Correction and coating work is booked in small numbers because it cannot be rushed. It means dates are finite — and that every vehicle on the calendar gets the full time it needs.
Work you can check
60+ five-star Google reviews, and a lifetime ownership guarantee on the workmanship behind every SMART repair we complete.

Questions
Ceramic Coating in Stratford-upon-Avon — Asked Often
The opposite. Mud on bare paint has to be physically removed, and that is where scratching comes from. Mud on a coated car mostly rinses off with a pressure washer and foam before anything touches the paint. You will still need to wash the car; you will do far less damage doing it. Rural cars are among the best candidates for a coating.
