CONSTANT CARE

Many people ask about the pitfalls and problems as it surely can’t be all about increasing revenue. Gareth Ward, Sales Director, Superior Spas advises: “We do get a number of queries from potential buyers and this is a common question. The constant upkeep, care and maintenance is the biggest downfall. “You need to look after your hot tub and ensure you provide the care and maintenance it needs and stick to the guidelines. However, the increase in revenue you will receive in terms of price per night and occupancy will outweigh any time and money spent on the upkeep,” continues Gareth and adds: “We recommend that the hot tub is replaced approximately every five years depending on usage. No matter where you are you are always in control with your hot tub. You can add theWiFi module to monitor the status and access the settings of your hot tub from anywhere in the world.

“THE INCREASE IN REVENUE YOU WILL RECEIVE IN TERMS OF PRICE PER NIGHT AND OCCUPANCY WILL OUTWEIGH ANY TIME AND MONEY SPENT ON THE UPKEEP.” - Gareth Ward, Platinum Spas

STOCK LEVELS 

Although this year has seen unprecedented demands for all types of hot tubs, Platinum Spas have still been able to supply the holiday let hot tub. Gareth reassures: “We have seen a huge increase in demand this year for our holiday let hot tub and the lead times have increased due to this. “I would advise you to plan in advance and order your hot tub now to ensure it arrives in time for the start of the season for next year. Don’t wait until the new year as you may miss out on additional revenue by not having one sooner.”

Superior Spas work with the largest dealer network across the UK, who distribute the holiday let hot tubs on their behalf. They don’t offer any special arrangements such as lease or buy-back offers and currently work with Sykes Cottages as their preferred hot tub supplier, is the personal touch and the proximity. They are on hand to answer your queries and some offer training and guidance tailored to you. “They also offer a great service and I would advise you to purchase from them rather than an online hot tub retailer where the service level may be poor and they could be a long distance from you.”
