316 marine-grade stainless steel

The tub and all its visible surfaces, inside and out, are built from 316 marine-grade stainless steel, the same alloy specified for boat fittings and coastal hardware. Every seam is hand TIG welded, and any welds on the exterior are polished out for a seamless finish.

The ritual

How it works

A wood-fired soak is wonderfully simple. No controls and no plumbing to wrestle with, just water, fire and a little patience.

  1. Fill the tub

    Fill with fresh water from a garden hose, or plumb in a permanent supply if you prefer.

  2. Light the fire

    Light the burner and keep it fed with dry logs from the built-in log store.

  3. Cover & heat

    Keep the insulated lid on while it heats. It holds the warmth in and gets you there far faster.

  4. Check & stir

    After about an hour, give the water a good mix to bring the warm top layer down.

  5. Soak & adjust

    Step in and enjoy. If it gets a touch too warm, top up with a little cold water.

  6. Drain within 2 days

    Keep the lid on between soaks and use the same water for up to 2 days, then drain it with the fast-drain valve.

Good to know: heat-up is typically 2–2.5 hours for the 2-person and 2.5–3 hours for the 4–6 person, from cold. The water isn’t chemically treated, so drain and refill at least every 2 days, and give the tub a rinse when you drain it.

Before it arrives

What your tub needs to sit on

A solid, level base. Nothing complicated, and we’re always happy to advise on your spot before you order.

Minimum supported base

2-person2038 × 1531.5 mm~1,200 kg filled (500 kg empty + water)
4–6 person2038 × 2009.5 mm~1,700 kg filled (600 kg empty + water)

The base must support the tub’s full footprint, so it’s fully supported across its full width and length.

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: only if it’s solidly built and rated for the full weight of the tub, water and bathers.
  • Adjustable feet on both sizes fine-tune small variations in level on the day.
  • Filling: an ordinary garden hose is all you need. A permanent supply can run up through the base or in through the side panels.

Questions

Good to know

Still have questions? Ask us

What base does the tub need?

A level, stable base is essential. Concrete, paving slabs or solidly built decking all work well. We assess your garden during the enquiry and advise on preparation. Most gardens need minimal work.

How long does delivery take?

Lead time is typically 12–14 weeks from order confirmation. Each tub is handbuilt to order in our English workshop. Rush options are sometimes available, so ask us directly and we’ll explore what’s possible.

Can I leave water in the tub?

Yes, for up to two days. Keep the lid on between soaks, then drain and refill at least every two days, or sooner after heavy use. Rinse the tub each time you drain it.

Can I use the tub in winter?

Yes. All our tubs are fully insulated and come with an insulated cover, making them suitable for year-round use in all weather.

Do you offer installation?

Yes, and it’s included in the price for mainland England, Wales and Scotland. Most installations take a day. The Scottish Highlands, islands and Northern Ireland are quoted separately. We also ship worldwide: prices outside the UK exclude VAT and UK delivery and installation, with shipping quoted for your address.

What is the warranty?

We offer a 15-year warranty on the stainless steel structure and 15 years on the Kebony timber against rot, covering manufacturing defects and material failure. The lid, steps and plumbing fittings 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 timber?

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