Roof Ceramic Coating
Caravan roofs face the most extreme UV exposure and are prone to oxidation, chalking, and UV degradation. Dedicated roof ceramic coating provides long-lasting UV protection and makes roof cleaning significantly easier.
What's Included in Our Ceramic Coating Service
1.0
Surface Assessment and Preparation
We inspect all exterior surfaces including fibreglass panels, roof, and paintwork to identify oxidation, contamination, and any areas requiring correction before coating. The surface is thoroughly decontaminated using clay treatment and iron removal to ensure maximum ceramic adhesion.
2.0
Ceramic Application
The ceramic coating is applied panel by panel using precision techniques. We work methodically across the entire caravan — roof, walls, storage hatches, and access panels — ensuring complete and even coverage.
3.0
Curing and Final Check
After application, the coating cures to create a permanent protective bond. We perform a final inspection and provide aftercare instructions including recommended maintenance products and washing techniques to maximise longevity.

What to Expect During a Ceramic Coating Service
Why Ceramic Coating Matters for Caravans
Superior UV and Environmental Protection
Perth's UV index is among the highest in Australia, causing rapid oxidation and colour fading on unprotected fibreglass. Ceramic coating creates a permanent UV-blocking layer that prevents the chalking and fading that reduces resale value and requires expensive restoration.
Easier Cleaning Between Trips
The hydrophobic properties of ceramic coating cause dust, red dirt, and road grime to bond less aggressively to surfaces. This means your van comes up cleaner with less effort after trips, and bug splatter and bird droppings are easier to remove before they cause staining.
Long-Term Value Protection
Ceramic protection preserves your caravan's finish in a way that traditional wax cannot. The permanent bond maintains protection for years rather than months, directly contributing to higher resale value and reducing the cost of future restoration work.

Common Questions About Caravan Ceramic Coating
How long does ceramic coating last on a caravan?
Quality ceramic coatings typically provide 3-5 years of protection. Caravans stored outdoors in Perth’s UV conditions will see performance closer to the 3-year mark, while those garaged or under covers can expect longer protection.
Can ceramic coating be applied over oxidised fibreglass?
Oxidised surfaces need correction before coating. Applying ceramic over oxidation seals in the damage rather than protecting healthy material. We assess and address oxidation during preparation to ensure the coating bonds to the best possible surface.
Is ceramic coating worth it for an older caravan?
For caravans with sound but tired surfaces, ceramic coating after cut and polish can significantly extend the finish life and make the van easier to maintain. The decision depends on overall condition — we’ll give an honest recommendation during assessment.
How do I maintain a ceramic-coated caravan?
pH-neutral caravan wash and regular rinsing is usually sufficient. Avoid abrasive cleaners, harsh chemicals, and high-pressure on seal areas. We provide specific maintenance guides tailored to your coating product.
Does ceramic coating protect caravan decals and graphics?
Yes. Applying ceramic over vinyl decals significantly extends their life by blocking UV that causes fading and edge lifting. This is one of the most cost-effective uses of ceramic coating on caravans given the expense of decal replacement.
How long does the application process take?
A full caravan ceramic coating service typically takes 1-2 days depending on caravan size and preparation requirements. The coating needs 24 hours before exposure to water, so timing around weather is important.
How much does ceramic coating cost in Perth?
The final price depends on the size of the caravan, the current condition of the exterior surface, and the level of preparation required before application. Caravans with extensive oxidation or damage may need additional prep work. The type of exterior material, whether fibreglass, aluminium, or composite, can also affect the overall cost of the ceramic coating service.
