What affects the price
- Inflatable or hard-shell tub, and how many people it seats
- Weekend, midweek or weekly hire
- Peak dates such as school holidays, Christmas and bank holidays
- Delivery distance
- Access, for example steps or a narrow side passage
- Add-ons such as a gazebo, lighting, steps or a floor protector
Why a week is often better value
Most of the cost of a hire is in delivery, setting up, filling, cleaning and collecting the tub. Those costs are the same for three nights or seven, so a week usually costs only a little more than a long weekend.
Hidden costs to check
- Electricity, usually a modest amount over a weekend but more for a week in cold weather
- Water, typically a few pounds if you are on a meter
- Late cancellation terms
