Only contacted Royal Tubs a week ago and they have been so helpful. Andrew answered my many many questions with no problems whatsoever, Nikita sorted out a speedy delivery and received hot tub this morning. Driver had a 4 hour drive up to Northumberland but was still so helpful and even asked if I needed more help after unloading it onto my trailer to drive through to the garden. Delivered 10.30 this morning and already been in it twice today 😁👍. Hot tub is great quality, excellent value and more than I hoped for. Thank you Royal Tubs

Refreshing!! What a great company, couldn’t possibly do anymore to help. From ordering to customer service after fitting absolutely 5*! The wood fired hot tub is great! Ordered tub Thursday, arrived 7 hours later, friendly energetic delivery drive who couldn’t have done more to help, fully installed and working, removed rubbish from site all within 90mins. After sales was great, final payment on delivery when happy, great advice on first use from Robin! All in all a great experience, I wish all online companies could be like Royal Tubs! Thanks again!

We started to build 2 Lodges to be rented out and wanted to find a company that was knowledgeable and supportive. We certainly found that after weeks of looking we came across Royal tubs. We purchased 1 to start with and now have 2. The customer service was amazing 1st class and they listen to your needs and advise to suit your requirements. The tubs are gorgeous and we have the most positive feedback from customers. Great quality , good value for money and aftercare if required. Thanks again for the 5 start treatment. Ron hull Group

I have been meaning to leave a review. Robin really went out of his way to help me with hot tub cleaning information. His customer service was incredible, he went above and beyond. I can't recommend this company enough.

What Is a Wood Fired Hot Tub?

A wood fired hot tub is an outdoor tub heated by a log-burning stove instead of electricity. The stove sits inside the tub or alongside it, warming the water to 38°C to 40°C. No power supply and no plumbing: a garden hose to fill it, dry firewood to heat it.

Also called a wood burning hot tub, or a log burner hot tub, it is the oldest way to bathe outdoors and still the best. The crackle of the fire, the smell of cut timber, steam lifting into cold air.

How Does a Wood Fired Hot Tub Work?

Logs burn in a stainless steel stove, either submerged in the tub or fitted alongside it. Heat passes straight through the stove wall into the water, and convection circulates it. There are no pumps and no controls. You feed the fire and the water warms steadily.

Saunas and Ice Tubs

A sauna beside the tub turns a garden into a Scandinavian ritual: dry heat, then cold water, then warm. We build outdoor saunas in barrel, iglu and square forms, and ice tubs for the cold half of it.


Frequently Asked Questions

Does a wood fired hot tub need electricity?

No. The water is heated entirely by the stove. Power is only needed for optional extras such as jets, lighting or filtration, and our off-grid models have none of those.

How long does it take to heat up?

About 1.5 hours in summer and 2.5 in winter, from cold mains water. Keeping the insulated lid on while it heats makes a noticeable difference.

How much firewood does it use?

Around 10 to 15 kg of dry hardwood per session, more in deep winter. Bought by the bulk bag rather than in nets, it costs roughly half as much per kilo.

How long will it last?

10 years for spruce and 20 or more for larch, with annual oiling. Acrylic-lined tubs usually outlast their cladding, and the cladding can be replaced.

How soon can I get one?

In-stock models ship in 1 to 3 days and made-to-order tubs take 4 to 8 weeks. We deliver across England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland.
