Wood-fired or electric?
Every Tubmarine is handbuilt in Dorset from 316 marine-grade stainless steel and Kebony timber. The difference is how you heat it, and how you like to use it.

Two people or four?
The 2-person tubs suit couples, courtyards and smaller gardens, with a footprint of about 2038 × 1540 mm and a filled weight of around 1,200 kg (tub and water, without bathers). The larger tubs are built for families and entertaining: about 2038 × 2010 mm and around 1,700 kg filled. The wood-fired 4–6 person tub seats up to six, as does the electric 6-person tub. For bigger groups we can build a tub to order.
The ice bath
Our stainless steel ice bath is £17,995 inc. VAT in the UK, delivered and installed. It is a one-person bath with a TECO TK-3000 chiller that holds the water anywhere down to 5°C, so there are no ice bags to buy. It works indoors or out, measures 2038 × 1035 mm and weighs around 750 kg filled (bath and water). Larger ice baths can be built to order.
Delivery and installation
In the UK, delivery and installation are included in the price for mainland England, Wales and Scotland; the Scottish Highlands, islands and Northern Ireland are quoted separately. If your site needs a crane or telehandler to lift the tub into place, we arrange it for you. Outside the UK, prices exclude VAT and UK delivery and installation, with shipping added for your address. Tight access is rarely a problem: we have craned tubs into London townhouses with no rear access. We ship worldwide. For customers in the USA we offer our 2-, 4- and 6-person electric tubs, shipped on DAP (Delivered at Place) terms: we arrange and pay for delivery to your door, and you pay the US import charges when it arrives. Under US Customs ruling N365099 these tubs carry no standard US duty, but the additional US tariff on UK goods applies, currently 10% of the tub’s value, plus small customs fees. Outside the UK, your tub is lifted into place by a telehandler or crane hired locally with an operator. Every Tubmarine weighs up to around 700 kg (1,545 lb) empty, and we will send your lifting company the dimensions, weight and lifting details. Questions? Get in touch or call 01935 677651.
