Why stainless steel
Built for daily cold, for decades
A Tubmarine ice bath is built for daily use, indoors or out, for years to come, and it’s covered for them. Here’s how it compares.

Inside every bath
Built by hand, cold on demand
Every detail is chosen for cold water, hygiene and long outdoor life. Choose a feature to see it up close.
TECO TK-3000 chiller
A professional-grade chiller with a titanium heat exchanger cools the water to your set temperature, down to 5°C, and holds it there precisely. No ice bags and no guesswork, just consistent cold that’s always ready.
Down to 5°C
316 marine-grade stainless steel
The tub and exterior surfaces are 316 marine-grade stainless steel, the same alloy used for boat fittings. Hygienic and corrosion-resistant, it’s ideal for cold water and made to stay looking new for years, indoors or out.
Built to last
Kebony timber cladding
Clad in Kebony, a sustainably sourced, modified softwood with hardwood-like durability. It weathers to a soft natural silver and needs no oiling or staining.
No oiling or sealing required
Easy-access filter
The filter sits within easy reach for cleaning, with no dismantling and no tools. Keeping the water clear and fresh is a quick, simple job rather than a chore.
Simple maintenance
Fully insulated body
The body is fully insulated and arrives with an insulated cover, so the chiller works less to hold temperature. The cold stays stable and running costs stay low, all year round.
Lower running costs
Adjustable feet
Adjustable feet let you level the bath perfectly on any solid surface, so it sits stable and true on a patio, decking or indoors.
Level on any base
Optional access steps
Matching Kebony steps with brushed stainless legs and black powder-coated sides make stepping in and out easy, and sit perfectly alongside the bath. Available as an optional extra.
Optional extra · £550
Black Edition
Also in black
The same handbuilt ice bath in 316 marine-grade stainless steel and Kebony timber, finished in a deep, weather-fast black. Quietly dramatic, and built in a limited run each year.
Effortless by design
How it works
No ice bags, no waiting, no guesswork. Set your temperature once and the bath stays cold and ready, whenever you need it.
Fill it
Fill the bath straight from a hosepipe, with no plumbing to install. Around 450 litres and you’re ready.
Set your temperature
Choose anywhere down to 5°C on the control panel. The chiller brings the water down and holds it there precisely.
Step in
Consistent, controlled cold whenever you are ready, for daily wellness, recovery or a clear-headed reset.
Good to know: day to day there’s very little to do. The easy-access filter keeps the water clear, and the insulated body and cover keep the cold stable and running costs low. Keep the water clean with a suitable sanitiser, and ask us about a water-care pack.

Installation day
Our team places and sets up your ice bath and shows you how everything works.
Minimum supported base
The base must support the bath’s full footprint, so it’s fully supported across its full width and length. Heights are to the top of the bath body, excluding the cover.
A level, load-bearing surface
- Concrete: a level slab at least 100mm thick on a well-compacted MOT Type 1 sub-base (min 75mm deep). The most reliable option.
- Paving slabs: laid flat and level on a well-compacted MOT Type 1 sub-base (min 75mm deep).
- Decking or indoor floor: fine if solidly built, level and rated for the full filled weight.
- Adjustable feet fine-tune small variations in level on the day.
- Power: a standard UK 13A socket for the chiller. No water connection or plumbing needed.

Indoors or out, made to belong
How cold does it get?
The TECO TK-3000 chiller is thermostatically controlled and cools the water to any temperature you set, down to 5°C. Once it reaches your set temperature it only runs as needed to hold it, so the bath is always ready, with no ice bags required.
Can it be used indoors as well as outdoors?
Yes, year-round. The marine-grade stainless steel and Kebony timber handle the elements outside, while the clean lines and quiet operation make it just as at home in a gym, studio or wellness room.
How noisy is the chiller?
Quiet. The TK-3000 emits around 54.5 dB(A) at one metre, roughly the level of a quiet conversation. The circulation pump is quieter still, comparable to a modern fridge, thanks to anti-vibration mounts and an efficient motor.
What are the running costs?
The chiller uses a high-efficiency compressor and titanium heat exchanger, drawing around 750–800W when actively cooling. Once your set temperature is reached it only runs as needed, and the fully insulated body and cover reduce heat gain, keeping running costs low.
Do I need a specialist to install it?
We offer a UK-wide installation service so your bath is set up correctly and safely. It’s included in the price in mainland England, Wales and Scotland; the Scottish Highlands, islands and Northern Ireland are quoted separately. We also ship worldwide, and if your site access is tricky we’re happy to review it and quote individually.
What kind of base does it need?
A level concrete base at least 100mm thick, over a well-compacted MOT Type 1 sub-base (min 75mm deep), is best for stability and drainage. Paving slabs or timber decking are fine alternatives if they’re laid on an equally stable, level foundation able to take the filled weight. The base should match the bath’s footprint so it’s fully supported.
What’s the warranty?
A 15-year warranty covers the stainless steel body and framework, and the Kebony timber cladding. The chiller, pumps, plumbing and electrical components, and the lid and steps, are covered for 2 years. Full terms are in our Terms & Conditions.
What materials is it made from?
The tub and exterior surfaces are 316 marine-grade stainless steel, with a stainless internal framework for strength and long-term stability. Selected areas are finished in Kebony timber, chosen for its durability, low maintenance and natural finish.
What are the lead times?
Each bath is handbuilt to order, typically 14–16 weeks from order. Build slots are limited and scheduled on a first-come basis, and delivery and installation are usually scheduled within a week of completion.
Where are your tubs made?
Every Tubmarine hot tub and ice bath is handbuilt in our workshop in Dorset, England.
How do I look after the steel and timber?
Wipe the stainless steel with a soft microfibre cloth in the direction of the grain. A gentle stainless cleaner handles light marks, and a limescale spray can be used for water spots, then rinsed and dried. Avoid abrasive sponges and harsh chemicals. Kebony needs no sealing or oiling and weathers to a silver-grey patina. To keep the original brown, apply a clear UV-protective finish once a year, and clean with warm water and mild detergent rather than a pressure washer.
If I order from abroad, how will it arrive?
Each bath is delivered fully assembled in a custom-built timber crate, and every shipment is fully insured from dispatch to delivery.
