How much does car detailing and valeting cost in Leicester?
We collected the prices published by Leicester-area car detailers and valeters in September 2026. Of the twenty-four businesses in this directory, only three publish any prices at all: Sparkle Mobile Car Wash, KDT Car Care and One Touch Car Valeting. The rest ask you to call and describe the car before they'll quote, which is normal for this trade but does mean you can't compare on price alone from a listing page.
| Business | Service | Price |
|---|---|---|
| Sparkle Mobile Car Wash, Leicester | Carnauba wax | £10 |
| Sparkle Mobile Car Wash, Leicester | Mould removal / pollution treatment | £10 |
| Sparkle Mobile Car Wash, Leicester | Wheel wax (solid) | £20 |
| Sparkle Mobile Car Wash, Leicester | Soft top cleaning & protection | £30 |
| KDT Car Care, Wigston | Maintenance valet | £90 |
| KDT Car Care, Wigston | Full valet | £170 |
| KDT Car Care, Wigston | Deep clean | £240 |
| KDT Car Care, Wigston | Exterior protection package with ceramic coating | £350 |
| One Touch Car Valeting, Leicester | Ceramic coating | £500 |
What the numbers do and don't tell you
KDT Car Care is the only business here that publishes a full price ladder for a straightforward valet: £90 for a maintenance valet, £170 for a full valet, and £240 for a deep clean, with a £350 exterior protection package on top for anyone wanting ceramic coating added. That gives a rough sense of what a mobile valet costs once you're paying for someone to bring their own water, power and equipment to your driveway in this part of Leicestershire.
Sparkle Mobile Car Wash's four prices are all optional extras rather than a base wash or valet: carnauba wax, wheel wax, soft-top cleaning and mould removal, each priced between £10 and £30. Its core wash and valet packages aren't priced anywhere we could check, so treat these figures as top-ups on a job you'll still need to ask about, not a starting price for the whole service. One Touch Car Valeting's only published figure, £500 for ceramic coating, sits at the premium end of what any business in this list quotes and shouldn't be read as its everyday valet price either; the business doesn't publish one.
Why most listings don't show a price
Twenty-one of the twenty-four businesses here publish no prices anywhere we could find, whether on their own site, a business directory, or elsewhere. That's typical for a trade with a lot of one-person and home-based operators working with no fixed premises: pricing usually depends on the size of the vehicle, how dirty it is, and which extras you want, so it's set on a call rather than published in advance.
- Fixed-site hand car washes (Leicester Hand Car Wash, The Shiny Car Wash, Arc Car Wash, Soap Stars, Dirtbusters, Vehicle Detailing Centre Ltd, MH Hand Car Wash) publish no rate card that we could find.
- Home-based and mobile valeters (Premium Valet, FX Detailing, ColourMagic Valeting, Royal Car Valeting Leicester, Top Class Mobile Valeting, MKProValet, Full Monty, Val - Mobile Car Valet, and others) work the same way: call and describe the car.
- Longer-established businesses with their own websites, such as CJ's Detailing, Leicester Auto Valet, Nicks Professional Valeting, Slix Car Care Ltd and Teamployer Automotive Car Valeting, still don't publish a rate card, even though several list a full service menu.
If price matters most to you, start with KDT Car Care's published ladder as a benchmark for what a mobile full valet costs in this area, then ring around the businesses nearest you to compare like for like once you know roughly what condition your car is in.
