### Sometimes Hot Tubs Need Moving
Landscaping your garden? Hot tub in the wrong spot? **Moving house and taking it with you?** Hot tubs can be relocated - it just needs doing properly.
> 💡 **Pro tip:** Moving a hot tub within your garden costs far less than house-to-house. If you're just repositioning, it's much simpler.

### The Challenge With Hot Tubs
They're **extremely heavy** (300-600kg empty), awkward shapes, and easy to damage. Plus they need to be level or they don't work properly.
| ✅ Professional Relocation | ❌ DIY Attempt | |---------------------------|----------------| | Proper equipment and experience | Hoping for the best | | Drained completely and safely | Risk of electrical damage | | Positioned and levelled correctly | Wonky tub, motor problems | | Route planned to avoid damage | Destroyed lawn, cracked paving |

### Two Types of Job
**🔧 Garden Repositioning**
Moving within same property: - Drain hot tub completely - Move to new position (usually 2-10 meters) - Level properly - Typically half day job - Cheaper than full relocation
**🔧 Full Relocation**
Moving between properties: - Drain and prepare at old house - Load and transport - Position and level at new house - Full day job typically - Needs transport + equipment

### Why Individual Quotes
Too many variables: - Size (2-person vs 8-person) - Weight when empty - Access (wide vs narrow) - Distance to move - Ground conditions - Equipment needed
Photos help, but I really need to assess properly for accurate quote.

What to Expect
### For Garden Repositioning: **Step 1:** Visit to assess - look at current position, new position, route between. **Step 2:** Schedule the move - usually half day, pick a dry day (easier on grass). **Step 3:** Drain, move, position, level - ready for refilling. ### For Full Relocation: **Step 1:** Visit both properties - assess access, plan route, check requirements. **Step 2:** Schedule and prepare - might need equipment hire, coordinate with house move. **Step 3:** Drain at old house, transport, position and level at new house.

Good to Know
> 📦 **Need base prepared?** Hot tubs need a solid, level base (concrete pad or reinforced decking). That's separate groundwork but I can advise or recommend someone. **Reconnecting electrics?** Needs a qualified electrician - not DIY work. Part P regulations apply to outdoor electrical installations. **Exeter's weather?** Pick a dry spell for the move. Wet ground makes it much harder and increases lawn damage risk.
Frequently Asked Questions about Hot tub relocation in Exmouth
Can you move a hot tub to a different spot in my garden?
Yes - happens quite often when people are landscaping or want the hot tub in a better position. Still needs draining and proper equipment, but usually quicker than moving between properties.
What's the difference between repositioning and full relocation?
Repositioning is moving within same property - might just be 5 meters to a better spot. Full relocation is house-to-house. Both need draining and equipment, but repositioning is usually cheaper as there's no transport involved.
Can you level the hot tub once it's positioned?
Yes - crucial for hot tubs to be level (helps with water circulation and prevents motor issues). I use a spirit level and shims or adjustable feet to get it spot on.
Do you need to see the hot tub before quoting?
For repositioning in same garden, photos might be enough. For full house moves I really need to see both properties - access is key with something this heavy.
Can you move inflatable hot tubs?
Yes, but honestly they're light enough when deflated that most people do it themselves. If you want help though, happy to assist - much quicker job than rigid hot tubs.
