FAQs about damage to ceramic coating following an accident

As we’ve already determined, yes, ceramic aftermarket ceramic coating will generally be covered by your insurance following an accident.

• When wouldn’t insurance cover ceramic coating? One of the main reasons would be if you don’t have full insurance coverage. In such a scenario, you’d need to speak to the company and/or read the fine print of your policy.
• How do I provide proof that my vehicle had ceramic coating? If it was installed by a reputable service, then you should have a receipt detailing the date and cost. If you’ve lost it, get in contact with the installer and ask them for a replacement. All businesses are required to keep customer details for a minimum of six years, so they should have it on record.
• If my insurance doesn’t provide cover, can I claim from the installer? Not really. Once the ceramic coating is installed then the role of the service provider is over. Damage from an accident is out of their control and, therefore, it would be unfair to expect them to cover it.

Do I need to tell my insurance company about having ceramic coating fitted?

If you’re worried about whether it will be covered or if the company should be informed of an installation, then be sure to get in contact and ask the question to them directly.
