Not every DIY Hot Tub project that I work on is a new design and build. I do a lot of “rescue projects” where tubs and pool are either partly done or partly designed and the customer need help to finish things off. The other line of work that I do is refurbishments and help people get non-working tubs back in action. 

This project is more of a hybrid between a refurbishment and a new build than anything. Mark came to me wanting to remove his fibreglass hot tub that had seen better days and replace it with a poured concrete tub but keep most of the plumbing he already had.

“I love it when a plan comes together”. Anyone spot the 1980s popular TV culture reference to the A-Team? Probably my favourite TV program as a child. Perhaps, dare I say it how I got into the whole “DIY thing”. I always marvelled at the inventions the A Team cobbled together. I loved making things as a kid. I still love making and creating “things” today. I remember vividly playing “A-Team” with my younger brother – I was always Hannibal Smith – the “man with a plan”.

When Mel got in touch back in July of 2021, his goal was pretty straight forward. He had sent me a picture of a pavilion with an on ground hot tub that you can see below. This was the inspiration and this is what he was setting out to achieve. Oak framed pavilion with an in ground hot tub. Perfect.

Edward got in touch as he was currently in the process of building a new holiday let property and wanted to incorporate a hot tub.

With his builders already on site, he knew that it would be a much cheaper option for him and his team to build the tub rather than getting a spa builder in.

Danny first got in touch with me back in May of 2021. What he was looking to do was to build a Pool and a Hot Tub with an overflow.

Rob got in touch with me late last year through the website. Here are some extracts from the email he actually sent.

Jody got in touch with me back in May of this year. He was planning a pool and hot tub combo in his backyard but was getting quoted astronomical amounts of money by pool builders.

Francisco, located in Chile, got in touch with Andi as he was looking to do something a little different with his DIY Hot Tub build. Not content with a “regular build” he wanted to add a custom made, fire pit heating element to the design.
