Buy your hot tub is an exciting process. It’s useful to know what to consider before you make that important decision. You need to know that
- how many people will use it,
- what size do you favour,
- your spa will be indoor or outdoor,
- you prefer a higher specification hot tub with powerful pumps, Bluetooth and water features or a cheaper one with fewer jets but still a decent, reliable quality.

3 | How much you can afford?
Before you decide on which hot tub to buy, have a think of how much you can comfortably afford monthly. Take into account;
- the hot tub’s running cost (this can range between £10-20 per week, depends on usage)
- monthly finance repayment, in case you are applying for our 0% APR 3 years finance option
- chemicals to keep your water clean & safe (this is approximately £12-15 per month)
Every year you will also need to full service your hot tub to make sure everything works how it should, all safe and sound.
Take your time rather than rush into any deal, and to buy your hot tub as far as possible with your head rather than your heart.
4 | Select your hot tub
Now you have gathered all possible information, tested a few spas, considered your options and you can go ahead and settle with your ideal hot tub.

Site Preparation
Once ordered, we shall send some site preparation documents with your order confirmation containing information about the type of base required for your new hot tub to stand on, site access requirements and electrical supply requirements. We’ll also ask for some photographs of the route from the roadside to where you want it placed so that we can check that there is proficient access. If there are any queries, please do not hesitate to call us for more information.
Delivery Dates
Once you have placed an order, the logistics department will check stock availability, your location, and routing. Our team will then call you and discuss a potential delivery date & come to a mutual arrangement on when is most suitable. We strive to try and deliver within 14 working days, but in the peak season, this can increase to 3-4 weeks. If you need to delay delivery for any reason and need more time to prepare, then that is no problem and we will wait until you are ready.
It’s important to note that if you have made a finance application, we have to observe a 14 day cooling off period which begins when you sign the finance agreement, however, we will be able to arrange a delivery outside of this period so we can give a delivery date quite quickly.
Delivery and Checks
Just a few days before your scheduled delivery, a member of our customer services team will call you to confirm we have all the correct details regarding your order & delivery. We will also double-check the access photos that you sent to make sure everything is ready for us to deliver your brand new hot tub. We will also take any remaining balance that may be outstanding on this call.
Delivery Day!
Around 1 hour before our delivery team arrive, they will call you to give you a short amount of time for any last minute preparations i.e. removal of fence panels, clearing pathways etc.
If you have taken advantage of our finance deals, when the tub arrives at your location you will be asked to sign a delivery note for the finance company to confirm delivery, the person who made the finance application must sign this.
Our team will then begin to position your tub and if the installation has been requested, they will connect it to the electrical supply cable you have had installed and will fill up the tub. They will then start up the tub and give a full demonstration, answering any questions you may have such as chemical use, filters, and day-to-day running of your tub. On some occasions, one team will deliver and position your hot tub and start to fill with water, then a second engineer will follow on to commission your tub later that day.
