How much does a hot tub cost?
The cost of a hot tub can vary significantly based on several factors, including the type, size, features, and brand. Here’s a general breakdown of the price ranges you might encounter:
1. Inflatable Hot Tubs: These are the most affordable option, typically ranging from £300 to £1,500. They are portable and easy to set up but may not be as durable or have as many features as other types, and they cost significantly more to run.
2. Entry-Level Hot Tubs: These are typically made from more durable materials like acrylic with basic features - especially pump, power, filtration, circulation and water purification systems. Prices usually start around £2,000 and can go up to £6,000.
3. Mid-Range Hot Tubs: These models are made to last longer with better guarantees, higher-quality materials and may include additional features like more varied jet systems, lighting, and superior insulation. Prices typically range from £6,000 to £10,000.
4. Premium Hot Tubs: High-end models that include advanced features such as computerised controls, enhanced hydrotherapy options, and luxury materials. Often these are bigger hot tubs and because they hold more water, the cleaning systems are designed to be more effective. Prices can range from £10,000 to £15,000 or more.
5. Luxury Hot Tubs: These are top-of-the-line models with the most advanced features, customisation options, and the best build materials, guarantees and after sales service. Prices for luxury hot tubs can exceed £15,000 and can go as high as £30,000 or more.
In addition to the purchase cost, you should also consider ongoing expenses such as installation (if necessary), maintenance, chemicals, and energy costs. If you are planning on fitting a hot tub, it's best to get quotes from local dealers and consider any additional costs for features you may want.
