Winter Hot Tub Shut-Down & Protection

Give your spa the protection it needs during the colder months with Spafix Hibernate, our professional hot tub winterisation service. Freezing temperatures, moisture build-up, and poor storage can cause costly damage — but our expert shut-down process ensures your hot tub stays safe until spring.

Whether you own a home spa, run a holiday let, or simply don’t plan to use your hot tub over winter, our Hibernate service is the smart way to prevent frost damage, mould growth, and unnecessary repairs.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I know if my hot tub needs servicing?

Signs your hot tub may need servicing include cloudy or smelly water, weak jets, error codes, or unusual noises. Regular servicing helps prevent these issues and keeps your spa safe to use.

A clean typically includes draining, scrubbing, and filter rinsing, while a full service involves a deep clean plus inspection of internal components, pump performance checks, and preventative maintenance.

This largely depends on the amount of usage; however, as a general rule of thumb, we recommend a full service at least once a year.

If you are not sure which of our service packages would best suit you, please feel free to contact our office team on 023 9354 1154 or email us on info@spafix.co.uk to discuss further.
