The ceramic coating is incredible. Water literally rolls off the car and cleaning takes half the time it used to.

Ceramic Coating Near You
Searching for ceramic coating near you? Atelier Car Care applies professional ceramic coatings as part of our mobile detailing service across Stamford, Cambridge, Peterborough and Rutland. Protect your paintwork with a durable, hydrophobic finish that lasts years — applied with Salon Prive and Retromobile Paris-level technique.
Professional ceramic coating from £350 — 2 to 3 year durability, hydrophobic finish.
Professional ceramic coating, applied on-site
Ceramic coating creates a semi-permanent protective layer over your paintwork that repels water, dirt and contaminants. Unlike traditional wax, a properly applied ceramic coating can last two to three years or more, making your vehicle easier to maintain and keeping it looking sharper for longer between washes.
Our ceramic coating is applied as part of our enhancement and correction packages. The £350 Single Stage Enhancement includes one layer of professional ceramic coating after machine polishing. The £500 Double Stage Enhancement includes two layers — a base coat and a top coat — for maximum durability and depth. Both packages begin with full decontamination, clay bar treatment and paint correction to ensure the coating bonds to a refined, defect-free surface. Application is carried out in controlled conditions, with appropriate curing time managed before the vehicle is exposed to weather.
We cover Stamford, Peterborough, Cambridge and Rutland as our core service areas, plus the wider East Anglia region. Regular coverage includes Market Deeping, Bourne, Ketton, Tallington, Ryhall, Barnack, Great Casterton, Oakham, Uppingham, Cottesmore, Whittlesey, Yaxley, Sawtry, Oundle, Wansford, Histon, Milton, Great Shelford and Sawston.

Had the double-stage correction and coating done. The depth of finish is stunning and the protection is noticeable every time it rains.

Two years since the coating and it still beads water perfectly. The best investment I have made in the car.

Common questions
How long does ceramic coating last?
A single layer of professional ceramic coating typically lasts two to three years. Our double-stage package with two layers provides even longer-lasting protection. Real-world durability depends on washing habits, exposure and maintenance.
Can ceramic coating be applied mobile?
Yes. We apply ceramic coating on-site as part of our enhancement and correction packages. The coating is applied in controlled conditions and the vehicle must remain dry during the initial curing period (typically 12-24 hours).
What are the benefits of ceramic coating?
Ceramic coating provides a hydrophobic (water-repelling) finish, UV protection, resistance to chemical staining, easier cleaning and enhanced gloss. It significantly reduces the effort needed to maintain your vehicle.
Does ceramic coating prevent scratches?
Ceramic coating provides a hard, sacrificial layer that resists light contamination and chemical staining. It does not prevent stone chips or deep scratches — for that level of protection, paint protection film (PPF) is required.
Do I need paint correction before ceramic coating?
Yes. Any swirl marks or defects present before coating will be locked in underneath. Our enhancement packages include the correction stage before coating, ensuring the best possible base for application.
How do I maintain a ceramic-coated car?
Wash regularly using pH-neutral shampoo and safe wash methods. Avoid harsh chemicals and automatic car washes. We provide aftercare guidance and can apply a ceramic-compatible top-up spray at maintenance visits.
