What drives the price
Tinting is priced by the vehicle, not by the window. Three things move the number: how many pieces of glass there are, how curved they are, and how long the job takes. A three door hatchback has a small rear screen and two rear quarters; a seven seat SUV has more glass, deeper curves and takes roughly twice as long.
Film quality matters too. Cheap dyed film is what turns purple and bubbles after a couple of summers. We fit Global QDP carbon and ceramic film, which holds its colour and carries a lifetime warranty on both the film and the installation.

What is included, and what is not
Every price includes the film, the fitting, and a lifetime warranty covering peeling, bubbling, cracking and colour change for as long as you own the car. You choose your shade at the studio from real samples, and the shade never changes the price.
Removing old tint is the one variable. If your car already has film on it that needs stripping, that is quoted on the day once we have seen the condition — badly baked-on old film takes far longer to remove than recent film.
Is cheaper tinting worth it?
The gap between a £60 job and a £110 job is almost always the film and the environment it is fitted in. Cheap film fades, and tint fitted outdoors or in a dusty unit traps contamination under the film that you cannot remove later.
We fit in a controlled indoor studio and warranty the work for life. If a panel ever lifts or discolours, we redo it.
Common questions
How much is window tinting for a car in Nottingham?
From £95 for a 3 door hatchback and £110 for a typical 5 door hatchback, up to £150 for an SUV and £190 for a large van. That is the full price including film, fitting and a lifetime warranty.
Do you need a deposit to book window tinting?
No. Booking online is free and you pay on the day by cash, card, bank transfer or Revolut.
Does a darker tint cost more?
No. Every shade from 5% limo black to 70% ultra light is the same price, and you choose it at the studio after comparing real samples.
How much does it cost to remove old window tint?
It is priced on the day, because it depends entirely on the condition of the existing film. Recent film comes off quickly; old baked-on film takes considerably longer.
