The cost of hot tubs varies according to their size and design. For instance, inflatable hot tubs are typically less expensive than hard shell hot tubs because they are much more basic. Hard shell hot tubs typically start at roughly £5,000, though very basic models could be significantly less expensive.
In general, you should budget a few thousand pounds if you're thinking about buying a hot tub. This cost however can usually be split into affordable monthly sums as most businesses provide finance payment alternatives. Large, opulent hot tubs normally cost between £7k and £8k, however some retailers may have versions that cost £20,000 or more!

As for spa upkeep, factoring the cost of cleaning materials can be tricky at first as this will depend on how often you plan to use your spa and the size of it. Larger hot tubs that are used more often will require more frequent cleanings and sanitization. However, once you have familiarised yourself with this process, you will be able to work out the costs more accurately. For instance, a 1kg jar of chlorine granules (£10.99) will sterilise a five-person spa 40 times when used at full capacity. This implies that a £10.99 container of chlorine would last for more than 5 weeks with very vigorous use. All in all, hot tub cleaning materials and sanitizers work out to be fairly inexpensive when it comes down to cost per use, however it is still worth it to work out the cost.
Over the colder months, many hot tub owners decide to "winterize" their hot tubs. Winterizing is the term used to describe emptying and shutting down the hot tub for the winter season. This not only dramatically lowers annual operating costs but also lowers cleaning and maintenance costs for this season.
