Handmade Hot Tubs
Our handcrafted cedar hot tubs combine traditional woodworking techniques with modern design. Constructed from sustainably sourced Canadian redwood, these durable tubs resist weathering and decay. Available in standard sizes from 4ft 6" to 8ft diameter, each unit accommodates 4-16 people. The natural insulation properties of cedar maintain water temperature efficiently, reducing energy costs for owners.
Plunge Pools
Designed for cold-water therapy, these tubs feature 4ft diameter dimensions with optional chiller units. The standard model includes a 700-litre capacity and 3ft 6" depth. Optional filtration systems maintain water hygiene without chemical treatments. Ideal for post-exercise recovery or wellness routines requiring temperature-controlled immersion.
Japanese Baths
Inspired by traditional Japanese ofuro design, these compact baths measure 5ft 6" long by 2ft 10" wide. Constructed from solid cedar with optional wood-fired heating, they heat from cold to 40C in under an hour. The shallow 2ft 5" depth accommodates two people comfortably, blending aesthetic appeal with functional hydrotherapy benefits.
Custom Designs
We create tailored hot tubs for challenging spaces, including rooftop gardens and cliffside locations. Our team collaborates with clients to modify dimensions, heating systems, and access features. Recent projects demonstrate adaptability to unique structural requirements while maintaining the core benefits of cedar construction and energy-efficient operation.
Nationwide Delivery
We offer comprehensive delivery and installation across the UK and Europe. Our logistics team handles transportation to remote or difficult-access locations, with lead times typically 3-5 weeks. Kerbside delivery options available for self-installation. All shipments include detailed assembly instructions and technical support for customer convenience.

We've had our wood fired tub a couple of weeks and been enjoying it every day. The stove is pretty efficient and it's well insulated so it only takes an hour to get back up to temperature from the night before. It's beautifully made and there's nothing quite like relaxing with the smell of wood smoke and steam rising. Thoroughly recommend Rustic Tubs!

Andy delivered our Tub 10 days ago. Its beautiful and sitting in it is a greater joy than we anticipated. We have soaked every day since it arrived and as I write I am just heating it again for an early evening dip. We are very happy customers.

Had my tub for 2 years now and I am absolutely loving it. We use it far more often than we thought we would, it allows us to enjoy our garden all year round!

To have first contact with the owner of the business and then delivery and installation by Andy was all highly professional.
Andy was great at the start helping me decide between the 5ft or the 4 ft 6 barrel and also the positioning of the 2 jets. So well within the build time ( before Christmas) Andy drove 3 hrs ish to Surrey from his workshop in his modified in aVW Campeevan with my Hot Tub on the back. It looked incredible. So after 2 hrs installation ish Andys work was done - Its was also a good opportunity to ask some first time Hot Tub owner type questions.. The Build quality along
