Blog: How Much is it to Have a Hot Tub Serviced?

Ah, the hot tub – a staple of UK leisure and the crown jewel of many a garden oasis. But let's face it, as much as we adore our bubbly oasis, maintenance can be a bit of a blind spot. If it's been over a year since your last hot tub servicing, it's time to dive into the upkeep waters.

Here at Hot Tub Heroes, we are chuffed to be accredited by the British & Irish Spa & Hot Tub Association (BISHTA) and the Alliance of Spa & Pool Professionals (ASPP). In this article we're keen to guide you through the ins and outs of hot tub servicing and how much it costs.

So, whether you're searching for "hot tub servicing near me" or just curious about the cost, let's get to the heart of hot tub servicing together.

So How Much is a Hot Tub Service in Manchester?

Figures here for a service range from £250 to £500. I know what you're thinking--you're wondering what the difference is and where you should be spending your hard-earned cash.

Let's be honest, the lower end of this spectrum, around £250, might seem attractive at first glance, but it's likely to be a superficial clean-up job. This could be the work of a self-taught individual, possibly using lower quality chemicals, and not giving your hot tub the thorough technical check it deserves. It's a bit like getting a budget car service that turns out to be a quick wipe-down. Sure, it's cheap, but is it really doing anything for your vehicle? You wouldn't want that for your car, and your hot tub deserves better, too.

At the other extreme, shelling out £500 might land you an impeccable service, but even so, it's not going to be exponentially better than what a mid-range company would provide. This is the price point you'd expect from a dealer or manufacturer – similar to taking your car to the dealership for a service. Yes, you'll likely get quality, but your wallet will feel the pinch.

So, where's the sweet spot for hot tub servicing? Aim for the £300-£350 range, but make sure you're in touch with an accredited, reputable company. Think of them as the RAC approved garage for your car – skilled, reliable, and not under or overpriced. They should be upfront about what their service includes, ensuring you get the value you seek without the excessive costs.

Remember, when looking for "hot tub servicing near me," don't just go for the cheapest or the most expensive. Aim for value, quality, and a company that's transparent about what they offer. Your hot tub is an investment in relaxation and enjoyment, so it's worth getting it serviced by the right people. Keep the good times rolling without getting into hot water over the cost!
