Why stainless steel

Built to be kept, not replaced

A Tubmarine costs more than a mass-produced spa because it’s made to last decades outdoors. Here’s how it compares.

All three sizes share the same materials and details. Choose a feature to see it up close.

The touchscreen control panel on the rim of the tub

Touchscreen control

Set your temperature and jets from a simple touch panel on the rim. The integrated heater holds the water at temperature automatically, so it’s ready the moment you are.

Effortless by design

How it works

No fire, no waiting, no fuss. Set the temperature once and your tub stays ready, whenever the mood takes you.

  1. Set your temperature

    Choose your temperature on the simple touchscreen panel. Just the number you want.

  2. It heats & holds

    The integrated heater brings the water up to temperature and holds it there automatically.

  3. Jets & lighting on

    Switch on the massage jets and the soft ambient lighting, all from the same panel.

  4. Step in & relax

    With the heat already there, a soak is never more than a moment away.

Good to know: day to day there’s very little to do. The easy-access filter rinses clean in minutes, and the insulated body and cover keep running costs low. Keep the water balanced with a suitable sanitiser; the water-care pack in our builder has everything you need to start.

Planning your tub

From first call to first soak

How ordering works, what your tub needs and how it’s lifted into place. We’re always happy to advise on your spot before you order.

  1. Talk it through

    A call, a video tour or a visit to the workshop. We’ll help you choose the right size and finish.

  2. Check your space

    We confirm access for delivery and the lift, and answer any questions on the base and power.

  3. Secure your slot

    A 50% deposit reserves your place in the build schedule.

  4. Built in Dorset

    Your tub is handbuilt to order in our workshop, which takes 12–16 weeks.

  5. Book your delivery

    The balance is due one week before delivery, and we arrange the lorry and any lift.

  6. Installation day

    Our team places and sets up your tub and shows you how everything works. Most installs take a day.

Questions

Good to know

Still have questions? Ask us

How much power does the tub need?

A dedicated power supply, with no water connection or plumbing. In the UK and Europe, that’s a 32A supply. In the USA, it’s a dedicated 240 V, 40 A circuit, installed by a licensed electrician. The 3 kW heater maintains the water temperature automatically, so the tub is ready whenever you want it.

How noisy are the pumps?

The tub runs at a low noise level in circulation mode, thanks to anti-vibration mounts and the motor design. It’s comparable to a modern fridge, around 40 dB or lower.

Can I use the tub in winter?

Yes. All our tubs are fully insulated and come with an insulated cover, giving excellent heat retention and comfortable year-round use, even in colder temperatures.

What are the lead times?

Every tub is handbuilt to order in our Dorset workshop, which takes 12–16 weeks from order. In the UK, delivery and installation are usually scheduled within a week of completion. Shipping to Europe takes around 1–2 weeks, and to the USA around 4–5 weeks, door to door. Rest of the world: shipping time on application.

Do you offer installation?

In the UK, yes, and it’s included in the price for mainland England, Wales and Scotland. Most installs take a day. The Scottish Highlands, islands and Northern Ireland are quoted separately. Outside the UK, we deliver your tub and work with your local builder or electrician, advising on siting, the base and the power connection.

Do you ship abroad?

Yes. Each tub is delivered fully assembled and fully insured in transit, and can travel in a secure, custom-built timber crate. For orders outside the UK, prices are shown excluding VAT and exclude UK delivery and installation; shipping is quoted for your address, and local VAT is payable on delivery. For the rest of the world, local import taxes and duties are payable on delivery. US customers can see US pricing and shipping here.

How do I pay?

All prices are in pounds sterling. UK prices include VAT. A 50% deposit secures your build slot, and the balance is due one week before delivery (UK) or one week before shipping (outside the UK).

What is the warranty?

We offer a 15-year warranty on the stainless steel and Kebony timber, covering manufacturing defects and material failure. Heating equipment, pumps, plumbing and electrical components, and the lid and steps, are covered for 2 years. Normal wear, natural weathering of the timber and maintenance items are excluded. Full terms are in our Terms & Conditions.

How do I look after the stainless steel?

Wipe with a soft microfibre cloth, always in the direction of the grain to preserve the brushed finish. A gentle stainless cleaner handles light marks. For water spots or limescale, a limescale spray works well but must be rinsed off and dried. Avoid abrasive sponges and harsh chemicals.

How do I look after the Kebony timber?

Kebony is low maintenance by design. No sealing or oiling is required, and it weathers naturally to a silver-grey patina. To keep the original brown colour, apply a clear UV-protective finish annually. Clean once or twice a year with warm water and mild detergent, using a soft brush rather than a pressure washer.
