About The Hot Tub Superstore

A family business built on passion and trust.

Established in 2004 with thousands of hot tubs delivered and installed safely throughout the UK. We are an independent company importing from quality world class American manufacturers and selling direct to our customers nationwide, offering an unrivalled value and saving you (the customer) thousands!

We treat our customers as we would like to be treated, starting with excellent communication, fairness and transparency. We are the definitive family firm, organically growing over the last decade.

Where We Came From

In 2004, Father & Son, Dennis & Daniel Holmes, imported 5 hot tubs following an unsuccessful attempt to buy a spa for their own homes.
They were simply too expensive in the UK and twice the price of their US counterparts. The initial order of 5 hot tubs included 3 additional spas to sell on eBay — the profit earned would pay for their spas. Immediately, a new and potential market appeared, and within the year 86 hot tubs were imported and sold on eBay.

Operational headquarters at this time was a 1000sqft unit in Blackpool, but the future was bright. Within 18 months, Ross Phillipson, Dennis’ Son-in-law, joined the Holmes’ bringing sales support and collectively the trio began to accelerate the business. Seeing the scope of the business, they purchased a brand new 6000sqft premises, now expanded to over 30,000sqft, and continued to build a dedicated hot tub facility incorporating retail sales, storage, parts and logistics. Damien Holmes, Daniel’s cousin, joined the team bringing extensive technical expertise, and this became the early framework of the current management team.

What We Do

It’s simple. We import from world class American hot tub manufacturers and sell direct to the customer. Large volume and a chain free approach fuel unrivaled value; you cannot buy a better spa for less. Anywhere. Our other primary focus is customer service. We are passionate about treating our customers as we would like to be treated. This starts with excellent communication, fairness and transparency.
