Hot tub repair in Cornwall

Hot tub stopped heating, started leaking or keeps tripping the power? We’ll find the fault, tell you plainly what’s wrong and fix it if it can be fixed. With common parts on the van, many repairs are done on the first visit.

We’re based in Camborne, covering Mid and West Cornwall, from Bodmin and Newquay to Penzance and everywhere in between.

What we do

Repair, servicing and care for hot tubs and swim spas

Most of our work is hot tubs at people’s homes. We also look after swim spas, pools, holiday lets and park sites.

Not sure what’s wrong? Our hot tub problems guide takes you through some quick checks, and our error code guide explains what the panel is telling you. For day-to-day care, see our hot tub guides.

Running costs

Lower running costs, every visit

Whatever we’re called out for, we’ll look at what your tub is costing to run and show you how to bring it down.

  • Cover and insulation

    We check the cover fits and seals properly and look at the cabinet insulation, because lost heat is money wasted.

  • Filter and heating settings

    We set the filter cycles and temperature so that the tub isn’t pumping or heating more than it needs to.

  • Water care

    We show you how much chemical to add, so you’re not paying for more than the water needs.

“⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Excellent service from start to finish. My hot tub needed repairing, and everything was explained clearly, including the fault, how to maintain it properly, and how to keep it running efficiently. The price was reasonable, too, with honest advice and no unnecessary extras.

Really helpful, knowledgeable and happy to answer questions. I’d definitely recommend him to anyone needing hot tub repairs or maintenance in the local area.

Thank you for getting my hot tub sorted! 😊”

How it works

How a repair visit works

  1. 1

    Tell us what’s happening

    Ring us and tell us what’s wrong. The make of the tub and any code on the panel both help.

  2. 2

    We book a visit

    We’ll book you in as soon as we can, at a time that suits you, and turn up when we say we will.

  3. 3

    We find the fault and fix it if we can

    We tell you what’s gone wrong and, if it can be repaired, we fix it and test the tub. If a part has to be ordered, we come back to fit it.

Holiday lets and parks

Keeping holiday-let and park tubs running

A broken tub on changeover day means unhappy guests and refunds. We look after hot tubs for holiday lets, parks, B&Bs and smaller hospitality businesses across Cornwall.

Our servicing helps you meet your duties; you remain the duty holder.

FAQ

Questions people ask us

How soon can you come out?

We aim to book you in as soon as we can and agree a time that suits you. Ring us and we’ll give you the earliest visit we have.

What does the call-out cover?

The first hour on site, which is enough for many repairs. The full price list is in our prices.

What happens if a part needs ordering?

We order the part and come back to fit it once it arrives. The part is charged on top, and the return visit is charged as labour at £35 an hour.

Can you repair my make of hot tub?

We work on most makes, including Hot Spring, Hydropool, Canadian Spa, Jacuzzi, Arctic Spa, Caldera, Roto Spa and Beachcomber, and on Balboa, Gecko and SpaNet control systems. Tell us what you’ve got and we’ll tell you straight away whether we can help.

What should I tell you when I ring?

The make of the tub, what it’s doing and any code showing on the panel.

What if my tub is sunk in or against a wall?

It helps to mention it when you ring. When a tub is sunk into decking or the ground, or a side is against a wall or fence, some panels can be hard to get to, which affects how long the job takes. If you’re not sure, a photo is fine.

Hot tub playing up? Tell us what it’s doing.

Give us a ring and we’ll talk you through what happens next.
