Plan the costs around your hot tub.
Build a consistent scope for delivery, the base, electrical preparation, lifting and finishing, then ask companies to quote the same job.

Itemised planning allowance
Costs outside the tub price
These August 2026 amounts are broad planning allowances, not market averages or quotations. Ask suppliers and qualified trades to price the same written scope. Electrical work must follow the model instructions and be designed and certified by a competent electrician.
What this planner is for
A low showroom price can still leave several site costs outside the order. This planner makes those lines visible. It is not a substitute for a site survey, structural advice, a lift plan or a qualified electrical design.
Ask for one written installation scope
- Who surveys and approves the base and access route?
- Who carries out delivery, positioning, filling and commissioning?
- What model-specific electrical supply is required?
- Are lifting, permits, mileage and failed-delivery charges included?
- Can engineers reach every equipment panel after landscaping?
Electrical safety
Some models are designed for a suitable 13A supply; larger tubs commonly require a dedicated supply. The model’s official installation instructions and a competent electrician must determine the design. The IET explains why outdoor hot tubs require careful application of the wiring rules.
