How much does car detailing and valeting cost in Eastleigh, Hedge End and Romsey in 2026?

We checked the published information for all 24 car detailers and valeters listed across Eastleigh, Chandler's Ford, Hedge End & Bursledon, Romsey and North Baddesley in September 2026. Not one of them publishes a price list on a website, Facebook page or anywhere else found.

Why prices aren't published

Only one business here, Autogleam Mobile Valeting, has an independent website at all, and even that gives a mobile number rather than a price. The other 23 are small hand car wash yards and one-person mobile valeters working from a directory listing and a phone number, the kind of business that has always priced a wash or valet by eye once it sees the vehicle rather than publishing a menu. Pricing this way also suits the two businesses here that go beyond a standard wash, Unit 7 Detailing in Eastleigh and DetailingWorx in Romsey, since ceramic coating and detailing work is priced on the size of the car and the condition of its paint rather than a fixed tariff.

What tends to cost more

Without published figures, the clearest signal is the service itself. A straightforward hand wash or valet, of the kind offered by most of the fixed yards and mobile operators on this list, sits at the cheaper end of what's on offer. Ceramic coating at Unit 7 Detailing and detailing work at DetailingWorx cost more and depend on the vehicle's paint condition, so neither is likely to carry a fixed rate.

What to ask when you call

• Whether the quote is for a wash and valet, or includes ceramic coating or detailing work, since that changes the price considerably.
• Whether the vehicle's size changes the price, since a van or estate usually costs more to wash or valet than a small hatchback.
• Whether a heavily soiled car or extras such as pet hair removal cost more on top of the standard price.
• For a mobile valeter, whether they bring their own water and power supply, or need yours.
