Below, we break down how to choose a whirlpool bath step by step, then invite you to pop into our whirlpool bath showroom Leeds for a test soak and a cuppa.


Quick Checklist – How to Choose a Whirlpool Bath

  • Why do you want it? Relaxation, muscle therapy, or a mix of both

  • Massage style: gentle air jets, powerful water jets, or a combination

  • How many bathers? Solo or side-by-side for two

  • Budget bracket: entry (£500-£700), mid (£700-£1,200) or premium (£1,200+)

  • Size & shape: rectangular, corner, L/P/D/J-shaped, freestanding, drop-in, or walk-in

  • Nice-to-haves: chromotherapy lights, inline heater, water-level sensor, designer jet finishes

  • Will it double as a shower? Check shower screen options for your preferred bath (call us for advice)

  • Water quality: plan for hard-water descaling or filtration if needed 


Step-by-Step Guide to the Best Whirlpool Baths 2025

1 – Define Your Main Goal

  • Relaxation & stress-relief: Air-spa systems create a soft bubbling embrace – perfect for winding down.

  • Muscle & joint relief: Water jets deliver a deeper, focused massage to ease tension.

  • Want both? Go for a combo system with independent water and air controls.

2 – Pick Your Massage Style

Option Feel Best for
Air Jets Champagne-like fizz Sensitive skin, gentle relaxation
Water Jets Firm, targeted Sports recovery, circulation boost
Combination Switchable Households with mixed needs

3 – Choose Capacity & Layout

  • Single user: Standard 1700 × 700 mm tubs keep things simple.

  • Two users: Look for face-to-face double-ended designs with twin headrests.

  • Family use: Extra-wide or corner baths give kids space to splash while adults relax.

4 – Set Your Budget

  • Entry level (£500-£700): Reliable pumps, basic six-jet layouts.

  • Mid-range (£700-£1,200): More jets, larger shells, electronic touchpads.

  • Premium (£1,200+): Designer shapes, inline heating and bespoke finishes.

5 – Match Bath Size & Style to Your Room

Measure twice (doorways too!) and pick a silhouette that works: rectangular for versatility, L- or P-shaped for shower-baths, statement freestanding for big spaces, or walk-in for easy access.

6 – Add the Finishing Touches

  • Chromotherapy lighting for mood-boosting colour.

  • Inline heater to keep water toasty.

  • Touch controls for fingertip convenience.

  • Jet finishes in matt black, chrome or white to match your taps.

7 – Shower-Bath Compatibility

If you’re pairing with a shower, choose a fixed glass screen, folding panel, or sliding doors, and keep pump-access panels clear for maintenance. 

8 – Think Water Quality & Eco-Savings

Hard-water area? Budget for a softener or regular descaling. Rural supply? Fit a sediment filter. And remember – cooled bathwater makes great garden feed.
