Avoid at all costs

Avoid at all costs, only after your money and don’t care about you once they have it!

We first ordered the hot tub back in June 2021, we were given an estimated delivery date of Oct 21. This came and went so we chased for an update and got a blunt response and was given a new estimated date, which also came and went. Again we chased and eventually a year later the hot tub finally arrived. We certainly weren’t told that it would take a year for delivery when we paid a deposit!

It was delivered with a faulty heater so we couldn’t use it until that was fixed! We complained about that but we were fobbed off with no meaningful apology for the year long wait and the faulty part!

I booked and paid for the gold service and on 20/09/25 I informed the service team that I think the jet pump had an issue. Faye responded saying she would send out the engineer with a replacement part should it need replacing under warranty.

The service was completed and the engineer assured me he had cleaned the lid, but he hadn’t so he lied to me (see pics). Before he left, as I was signing the paperwork he was saying that I had about 2 years left on the five year warranty and that had the part not been covered under warranty it would have cost me about £600.

About 20 minutes after the engineer left, I then get a call demanding payment for the part that was fitted I have to pay for it even though two different employees told me it was covered under warranty.

I have been locked in a stupid argument with the service department who struggled to offer any meaningful apology and will arranging for an engineer to remove the part fitted and hopefully complete the service.

Think twice before you spend thousands of your hard earned money on a Hotsprings tub!!

I rarely write reviews but feel it is important to help avoid others wasting thousands of pounds. Be warned before you buy. Nothing but problems with our hot tub. Again we have had a whole summer and autumn without our tub! If Hotsprings need to order parts, it can take months as parts are only delivered to the UK once there is a full container! Then you have to wait for a fitter to come and replace the parts who then does not only not turn up, but does not even have the courtesy to inform you!! So disappointed. Another days annual leave wasted. I truly regret investing £12,000 with Hotsprings, complete waste of money as we haven’t been able to enjoy it. If you are looking to buy a hot tub, please take my advice and purchase from a company that can actually provide support when needed.

Hi Anita Ellis
Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. I’m sorry to hear that you’ve been left feeling disappointed, and I understand how frustrating it is when your hot tub isn’t available during the months you most want to use it.
I would like to clarify a few details regarding your recent experience.
The technician was unable to attend your original appointment because he fell ill shortly before your scheduled visit, which was unfortunately outside of our control. We informed your husband immediately and arranged a new appointment within the same week. The technician then attended as planned and completed the repairs to the lights and lens successfully.
As a gesture of goodwill, we also offered a complimentary Bronze Service, which was discussed with your husband.
To ensure the work was completed to the standard you should expect, our Service Administrator visited your property during the repair to confirm everything was progressing correctly.
It’s also important to note that we have had no communication from yourself throughout the entire process, despite asking to speak with you directly. The first contact we have received from you personally is through this review. All communication to date has been with your husband.
Regarding parts: although HotSpring components are manufactured in the USA, we do not wait for full containers to be shipped. Parts are sent over as soon as they become available if they are not available in our Uk main warehouse, though some items can occasionally be on back-order with the manufacturer, which may extend lead times.
If there is anything still unresolved, I’d be more than happy to assist you directly. Please contact me at service@hotspringsouthwest.co.uk or on 0117 665 6628 and I will personally review your case.
Warm regards,
Sam

Warning: be careful selling your hot tub back to Hotspringd

I sold my hot tub back to Hot springs on the 8th September. I was told I would be paid within 48hrs. I am still waiting and have called and spoken to both sales and service team. All say they have passed on my request and I still have not heard anything, not even acknowledgment. Honestly shocking.

On the back of the response received from Hotsprings it’s worth noting that it’s at the customers fault. Not possibly due to their complete unprofessionalism. How hard is it to take down bank details🤣

Hi William,
Thank you for your review. I’m sorry to hear that you’ve been left feeling disappointed, so I wanted to clarify the full timeline to avoid any misunderstanding.
Your hot tub was collected on 8 September, and your payment was processed within our standard 14 days timeframe. Unfortunately, the bank details provided to us were incorrect, which meant the payment could not be released any earlier.
We updated your correct bank details after we spoke with you over the phone on the 18 September 2025. Once we received the correct details, we issued payment for your hot tub as normal.
I would also like to reassure you that you were in communication with our team throughout — both our Sales and Service departments passed messages on to Accounts, and updates were provided while we were awaiting the correct payment information.
I appreciate that this situation caused frustration, and I apologise for any confusion around the payment timeframes. However, your payment was processed correctly and within the policy guidelines once the accurate bank details were supplied.
If you need any further help, please feel free to contact us directly.
Kind regards
Hotspring Southwest & Wales Team

Absolutely shocking company

Asked for a refund on our deposit and got abuse. At no point we're we told refunds non refundable, not even a pre order done but they keep refunds, easy money! Took months for MD to say NO, We're not the first! Absolutely shocking attitude at times...Endsleigh Store Ivybridge

Hi there,
Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. I’m sorry to hear you feel this way, so I’d like to clarify a few key points around your deposit and the timeline of events.
Your deposit was paid to secure the hot tub you selected, and our Deposit Terms & Conditions were provided at the point of sale. These state clearly that deposits are non-refundable, as they are used to reserve stock, allocate delivery slots, and begin the order process. Even if the tub has not yet arrived, the allocation and administrative processes are still completed on our side.
I’m very sorry if this was not fully understood at the time of purchase — we never want any customer to feel misinformed.
We appreciate your feedback and will continue to ensure our policies are always communicated clearly at the point of sale. If you would like to discuss this further or need clarification on any part of the process, please feel free to contact me directly — we are always here to help.

Choose Hotspring Southwest for consistency.

With Hotspring Southwest we been extremely satisfied with the consistency of service we have received. After 10 years we decided to re-visit Cadbury Garden centre, where we originally purchased our Envoy, to order a replacement cover and imagine our surprise when we were met by Rose who sold us our hot tub in 2014.

The covers may have changed but Rose has remained an absolute delight to deal with and covered all our questions with friendly professionalism. If you are after a hot tub then Rose at Hotspring Southwest is your one-stop-shop.

Need a hot tub, look no further…

We went into hot springs knowing nothing about hot tubs other than we needed one. We left with enough knowledge to make an informed decision based on purchase price, running costs, maintenance etc. We were looked after by Rose who we found to be Professional, courteous, knowledgeable and explained things to us without any rush or making us feel stupid for what I am sure must have been a few daft questions in the mix

I would like to write a review about my Hotsprings hot tub Envoy . I’ve had my hot tub for 13 years , it is always on and only turned off to clean and refill normally done in the same day . It is a wonderful thing and still looks amazing . I replaced the lid 2 years ago and am now replacing the filters . Don’t buy cheaper these hot tubs are built to last .
