When it comes to buying a hot tub, we’re all about comfort, quality and exciting features, but price is always a major factor to consider too. So, let’s compare the wood-fired hot tub prices from the top five brands in the UK – Royal Tubs, Gardenvity, Skargards, The Log Company (Kirami) and TimberIN. 

Pricing is, of course, subject to seasonality, marketing strategies and economic fluctuations, which is why our article may become slightly outdated within a matter of months, or even days after we post it. While these prices may not be 100% exact in future, they do give you a general sense and a great indication of the different costs on the market so you can compare and contrast each brand. The price figures discussed here are valid as of October 2022.

The differences between the prices of wood-fired hot tub models produced by each brand are because of a range of factors: the materials used, technical design solutions, aesthetics and packaging. There is no doubt that it matters a great deal whether a simple screw is driven by a carpenter from York or someone from the Scottish Highlands. Equally, the overall quality of wood-fired hot tubs depends not only on their price, but on details such as where they are manufactured as well. However, these extra details would be hard to calculate and compare clearly, so we have decided to instead consider different features and components of wood-fired hot tubs as the basis for our price comparison. Armed with this information, you will be able to decide on the overall look and quality of the products and get a clue of how much the different components cost depending on the seller.

When discussing prices, it is critical to state at the very beginning that the starting hot tub prices displayed by many brands on their websites will often increase substantially once you add everything you need to your order.

This is our longest comparison article, so feel free to scroll through to the parts that are most relevant to you, or get yourself a cuppa to sit down and read the whole thing.

What does a wood-fired hot tub order generally include?

1. The hot tub with or without a liner and wood-burner stove
2. Delivery
3. VAT and customs/import duties (if made outside the UK)
4. Important parts and accessories without which you would not be able to use the hot tub fully:

• water filter
• massage system 
• steps
• full chimney assembly (with heat protection, rain cowl)
• drain tap
• cover

You will see that some sellers include most of the above, while others will show the ‘from £X’ price just for the hot tub alone

Given its Swedish quality, mesmerising looks, Skargards’ presence in the wood-fired hot tub market and a range of other factors, the initial prices on this brand’s website appear more than just attractive. What you should be alerted to, however, is that you will have to add things like an insulated lid, steps, chimney heat guard, water filter or a massage system as extra accessories. Some of these are crucial for safe and efficient hot tub use, so please bear the prices of these components in mind – which are not that cheap to start with.

The largest, most all-inclusive Skargards model available is their marvellous and spacious 8-10 seater Regal (looks absolutely stunning!) model with a DualBurn stove which costs £8,410 with all of the best accessories included.

A Regal hot tub for 5-7 people with a fibreglass liner and a standard burner (starting at £3,590), insulated lid, side shelf, SPA system, steps, chimney guard, chimney rain cowl and water filter (all of these parts combined add another £2,900) make for a total of £6,490.

UK mainland shipping is included in the price too. A £100 transport fee applies to shipments to Scottish Highlands and Northern Ireland, and those living in offshore island regions have to get a tailored quote.

What is especially unique and interesting about The Log Company’s hot tubs is that it also offers pre-owned hot tubs (subject to availability) and a hot tub hiring service to test out a hot tub, or just enjoy it for a short period.

Cost

The most basic Kirami hot tubs will start from £3,090 for the medium-sized (up to 4 people) wood-fired hot tub with a plastic liner and 18 kW wood-fired heater. This package includes a plastic cover, thermometer and an ash shovel. You will have to add steps as an extra accessory before checking out your purchase. You also have the opportunity to upgrade your hot tub package by buying a cover, heater grate and grate bed as accessories. However, we do admit to being somewhat confused about whether you would be able to use the heater without the grate.

Kirami’s top of the range model is the unique Grandy XL model valued at £9,900. For a mid-range, more conventional premium product, Kirami offers the Premium Steady Flow hot tub together with a range of their best accessories, including hybrid heating and hydro massage systems, for £6,974.

The Comfort line 6-8 seater with Thermowood cladding, plastic liner, insulated cover and steps, but no water filter or massage system, starts from £5,250. 

The Log Company (Kirami) offers plenty of options to choose from and the displayed prices include almost everything you will need to start using your hot tub right away. By the way, The Log Company, as its name suggests, also offers the convenience of buying firewood on their website, too!

Delivery throughout most parts of the UK is free of charge, but you will need a quote for the Scottish Highlands, offshore islands and Ireland. Free collection from the company’s warehouse is also available. The Log Company offers an assembly service which costs an extra £200.

TimberIN offers a unique product that no other brand has created – a sunken jacuzzi wood-fired hot tub.

Cost

Although it’s not that easy to locate a clear list of TimberIN’s full product range on their website, as its functionality is in need of some improvements, with time and patience, you’ll get there. We recommend you try to start your search here.

Important: Since TimberIN is not a UK-registered company, their prices include 0% VAT and you will need to pay the customs clearance fee of 20% of the total hot tub price. This means you have to add at least another fifth to any prices seen on their website as well as in our comparison guide. This information has been confirmed by a TimberIN staff member.

The most affordable TimberIN wood-fired ofuro hot tubs start from approximately €1,710 (~ £1,490), but please note that this only includes a wooden tub without a heater. Adding an external heater, insulated cover, water filter, air massage system, chimney protection, water drain with hose connections and shipping, the price more than doubles to €4,135 (£3,600)!

The most all-inclusive model you can buy from TimberIN is probably their SMART Pellet Thermowood model for 6-8 people which features all of the best accessories (even a Wi-Fi control app and hybrid heating system featuring a 15 kW electric heater) and a unique pellet stove for the jaw-dropping €9,444 (£8,222).

The TimberIN Rojal hot tub for 6-8 people with Thermowood finish, fibreglass liner, integrated stove, insulated cover, massage system and water filtration systems, 2 LEDs, and shipping totals at €5,150 (£4,484).

You will be asked to check the shipping box as you start selecting accessories. TimberIN has a charge of €180 (£157) for delivery to central England and Wales, or €390 (£340) to other parts of the UK and Ireland.

We recommend you check out how TimberIN’s Rojal model looks directly on their e-store here since we don’t have permission to publish their visual material.

We hope this comprehensive price comparison has provided you with the information you need when deciding on which hot tub to buy from which brand. We promise to come back and update the prices if noticeable changes occur. For now, make the most of this extensive guide to offer a better understanding of what you can expect to pay for your dream wood-fired hot tub!

Do wood-fired hot tubs bubble? Is it worth investing in a wood-fired hot tub with jets? How much does a jet system increase the total price of the hot tub unit? These are all great questions to ask, and the short answers are: yes, yes, and not necessarily by much. Let’s dive into the explanations for each of these questions so you can make an informed decision about what hot tub is right for you. This article provides you with details of the benefits you can receive from adding air jets or hydro currents to your wood-fired spa. 

Autumn is here, and with less sunshine comes a need to warm ourselves up in other ways. It’s always a good idea to get toasty warm right to the core while simultaneously enjoying a massage from jets in a wood-fired hot tub. In this article, we will review what each of the five top wood-fired hot tub brands in the UK offer.

What are the typical jet systems to create bubbles in wood-fired hot tubs? 

To create a bubbling massage in your wood-fired spa, you will typically be presented with two options: air jets and/or hydro currents. While it isn’t designed to mimic the trained hands of a massage therapist, air or water massage do work effectively to provide relaxation and tension relief during your soak. 

The two types of jets both require electricity and generate bubbles and currents of varying intensity for a higher or lower level massage. Naturally, their power consumption will be different, as well as pricing.

The most notable difference between the two types of jets is the overall sensation they offer when bathing in a wood-fired hot tub. 

Air jet compressor thrusts air bubbles up through tiny nozzles to create a constant stream of gently rolling water. This massage system is less potent than the units used to generate hydro-massage. With air jets, water is not circulated throughout the system, which makes it easier to maintain in colder weather. 

Hydro-massage pumps burst out stronger currents at higher pressures for a firmer, more therapeutic massage effect when positioned correctly. The system lines are filled with water from the hot tub, requiring careful, thorough maintenance to ensure hygiene standards are upheld and to save the system from damage caused by freezing in cold temperatures. Some hot tub manufacturers add airflow to the hydro jets to regulate their intensity.

Air jets or hydro-massage? 

Let’s now review the two water massage systems by exploring four key aspects to help you decide which one is more suitable for your needs.

What types of massage sensations do they generate?
Air jets Gentle fizzing massage all over your body. The water flow throughout the tub can be compared to the overall sensation of a lazy river.	Hydro currents Stronger and more focused hydro-therapy with therapeutic benefits
Power consumption/line requirements
Air jets Not every manufacturer publishes the power of their air jet compressors, but typically it should be around 700 W and not exceed 1 kW. There are no special power access requirements for this system.	Hydro currents The compressors will typically consume between 1 and 3 kW of power, depending on the number of nozzles in the hot tub. There are no special power access requirements for the system.
Maintenance
Air jets This massage system is water-free, so it does not require any treatment to protect against harmful bacteria. The pipework is not susceptible to freezing, although some manufacturers strongly advise running the system for 10-30 seconds after draining the water from the hot tub to ensure that any water drops are able to be flushed out of the system so that they do not cause damage when temperatures drop below zero. Always read the user manual to see if your manufacturer recommends this kind of maintenance.	Hydro currents Contrary to the air-jet option, you will need a special cleaner to flush the pipework of the hydro massage system to eliminate biofilm every time you drain the water, or at least once every three months. Approximate costs average out at £2 per treatment for at least four flushes per year, totalling around £8 or more. If your wood-fired hot tub is not constantly heated during the cold season, you must make sure to drain the water from the tub and run the hydro-massage system to thoroughly clear out all the water. Again, you must check the user manual about the allowed duration for this so as not to damage the system.
Price
Air jets Only the Timberin, Gardenvity and Skargards brands provide specific figures when it comes to how much an air jet system costs. These are as follows as of October 2022: Timberin €600 (ca. £530) (12 jets), Gardenvity £550 (12 jets) or £650 (20 jets), Skargards £580 (6 jets). Royal Tubs offers an air bubbles system but the price is by enquiry only, as it is not displayed.	Hydro currents Royal Tubs and The Log Company (Kirami) do not appear to display on their websites how much it costs to add hydro therapy features to their hot tubs. However, hydro-massage systems are available in their wood-fired hot tubs. Timberin and Gardenvity, on the other hand, clearly state their prices as follows: Timberin €620 (ca. £545) (6 nozzles), Gardenvity £650 (10 nozzles) or £950 (20 nozzles). So far, Skargards has not offered a hydro-massage system.
Summary
Air jets ✓ Cheaper than hydro currents ✓ Minimummaintenance (close to none) ✓ Gentle, dispersed massage ✓ Require less electricity	Hydro currents ✓ Stronger massage effect ✓ Option to create massage zones for the shoulders, back, legs and feet ✓ Adjustable intensity

What are the benefits of a wood-fired hot tub with jets? 

Any massage system in a wood-fired hot tub with jets can work wonders for relaxation. The system is not just there to provide you with extra buttons to push; it offers a truly relaxing massage experience from the comfort of your own private home spa.

Most wood-fired hot tub models with hydro-massage system will have at least one or more zones with massage nozzles positioned so as to work specifically on your shoulders, back and legs/feet. The hydro massage can relieve muscle aches and tension after physical activity (perfect of athletes or gym bunnies!) or a long day at the office hunched over in a chair. Whatever your lifestyle, this system provides an invigorating massage for stiff, sore joints.

If a hydro-massage feels like too much, as the intensity can be higher, air jets can offer a more soothing, gentle sensation. On top of this, the air bubbles make for a playful experience when combined with lighting systems in the hot tub.

A great feature of air jets or hydro currents is that they keep the water in the hot tub constantly flowing, which enables even heating throughout the tub. 

These massage systems typically come with a moderate price tag when added on to a wood-fired hot tub unit. Considering this, our bottom line recommendation is to get one, or even both for variety! An air or hydro massage system is an important feature to enrich your hot tub experience with relaxation, health benefits and plenty of fun!
