How much does car detailing and valeting cost in Kettering, Corby and Wellingborough in 2026?

We collected the prices published by car detailers and valeters across Kettering, Corby, Wellingborough and the surrounding towns in September 2026. Only two of the thirty-seven businesses in this directory publish a price list: UK Auto Detailing in Corby and Elite Mobile Detailing, based in Rushden. Everyone else asks you to call or message with details of the car before quoting, which is the normal pattern here rather than the exception.

The two published lists show how wide the range can run even between businesses offering a similar service. UK Auto Detailing's prices sit at the lower end: a £45 weekly maintenance clean and a £50 valet, rising to £150 for paint polishing and £200 for a full detail. Elite Mobile Detailing, also mobile but covering a much wider area across six counties, starts higher at £80 for its entry-level Refresh valet and £140 for a Deep Clean, then moves into dedicated detailing packages priced from £250 for ceramic coating up to £699 for its Ultimate Detail, with a £399 New Car Protection Detail and a £499 Correction Detail in between. Between the two lists, a straightforward valet here runs from around £45 to £80, while full detailing, correction or coating work runs from a couple of hundred pounds up towards £700, depending on how much correction and protection work is involved.

For the other thirty-five businesses covered here, from fixed-site units in Kettering and Wellingborough to mobile valeters working out of Corby, Rushden, Market Harborough, Oundle and Thrapston, no price list is published anywhere we could find: not on a website, a Facebook page, or an online listing. That's typical for small, often one-person operations, where the price depends on the vehicle's size and condition, and on which of valeting, detailing, paint correction or ceramic coating you actually want done. Ring or message ahead with the make and model, roughly how dirty the car is inside and out, and what you want doing, and get the price confirmed before the appointment rather than on the day.
