Outdoor hot tubs for the terrace or garden
Year-round acrylic hot tubs for 2 to 6 people with insulated shells, thermal covers and filtration you can manage yourself. Free-standing on a terrace or on a concrete pad in the lawn. We are not tied to one brand: we compare manufacturers and recommend two or three models that fit your space and your family.
Swim spa: swim against the current all year
A 4 to 6 metre counter-current pool with a swimming zone and a massage zone. It replaces a pool where there is no room for one, or where you want to use the water in winter too. It needs a concrete slab rated for 8 to 12 tonnes and a crane on delivery day.
Sunken hot tubs
The shell is sunk into the terrace or the ground with the rim at floor level and the equipment reachable through a service pit. It looks like part of the house rather than a box standing next to it. We draw the pit for the chosen model, your builder or ours builds it, then we crane the tub in and finish the edge.
Installation and electrics
- Most year-round tubs run on 400 V on a dedicated circuit with its own breaker and a 30 mA RCD; small models run on 230 V. A licensed electrician wires it and issues an inspection certificate.
- The base must be level and load-bearing: a filled tub with people weighs 1.5 to 3 tonnes. Concrete slab or paving on compacted gravel; wooden terraces are assessed first.
- Access matters: about one metre of clear width without steps for the delivery trolley, otherwise we bring a crane.
- Permits: a free-standing tub on a terrace is normally not a building. A sunken tub or a roof counts as a minor structure and usually needs no permit if it keeps the required distance from the boundary. We check this for you.
How it works
You send a few details, we reply within 24 hours and arrange a free survey. We measure the site, access and electrics, recommend models and quote the turnkey delivery. Site preparation follows, then delivery, placement, wiring, certificate, filling and a walkthrough, usually in one day. We speak English throughout.
Common questions
Can I use the hot tub in winter?
Yes. Year-round acrylic tubs with insulated shells and thermal covers are built for frost. What matters is a good cover and an uninterrupted power supply.
How much space do I need?
A 4-person tub is roughly 2 x 2 metres plus about 35 cm of service clearance on the equipment side. A swim spa needs 2.3 x 4.5 to 6 metres. We check the exact footprint of the chosen model at the survey.
Do you service tubs you did not supply?
Yes: water care, filter and cover replacement, winterising and most repairs. For some brands spare parts are harder to get and we say so up front.
