Car Ceramic Coating Prices Explained; Value, Quality, and Performance

When it comes to ceramic coatings, price often reflects performance. The best coatings protect against UV damage, chemical stains and oxidation while maintaining that flawless gloss professionals are known for. But with so many products on the market, from cheap DIY kits to high-end professional-grade coatings, how do you know what’s worth your money?

At Nanotech SST, we believe transparency matters. We don’t just sell coatings, we engineer next-generation nano protection that replaces traditional wax or polish. That means our pricing reflects years of research, testing and real-world feedback from detailers, workshops and serious car owners. Whether you’re coating a daily driver, a luxury car or a client’s fleet, our nano coatings deliver performance that lasts longer and protects deeper than conventional ceramics at a fair and consistent price.

What Affects the Cost of Ceramic Coatings

The price of a ceramic coating can vary widely depending on several factors:

Type of Product – Traditional ceramics coat the surface while Nanotech SST coatings bond at a molecular level for stronger, longer durability.

Preparation Required – Proper surface prep takes time. Polishing, decontamination and paint correction all influence final cost.

Application Time – Coatings requiring curing or layering naturally increase the price due to labour and precision.

Durability and Warranty – A 5-year coating will cost more upfront than a 6-month spray sealant but provides better long-term value.

Our philosophy is simple, you shouldn’t overpay for protection that lasts. Every Nanotech SST coating is priced for advanced nano performance with faster application and significantly extended lifespan compared to traditional products.

Average Car Ceramic Coating Prices in the UK

For reference, most professional detailers in the UK charge:


£250–£400 for a 1-year ceramic coating
£450–£800 for a 3-year coating
£900–£1,200 for premium 5-year packages

DIY or enthusiast coatings, including spray-on ceramics, are far more affordable, typically £30–£100 per bottle and can still deliver impressive performance for the cost.

Nanotech SST products cover both ends of that range. Our advanced professional ceramic coating offers multi-year durability while Speed Guard gives professional-level gloss and protection in minutes, ideal for workshops and enthusiasts seeking high value.

How Nanotech SST Delivers Better Value

Unlike generic ceramics that simply coat the surface, Nanotech SST coatings use nanoscale bonding to create a stronger and more durable protective layer. This ensures deeper gloss, stronger hydrophobic performance and fewer required reapplications.

Our coatings have been tested on everything from luxury vehicles to commercial fleets. Each bottle is engineered for consistent performance, efficient application and maximum durability.

UV degradation and oxidation
Acid rain and chemical fallout
Micro-scratches and swirl marks
Water spotting and mineral deposits
