Time on Site
Most diagnostics and minor repairs take 1–3 hours on site; pump, heater or control replacements typically take 2–6 hours and may require the tub to be drained and refilled which extends total downtime; if new parts are ordered, expect delays of 2–7 days
Questions to Ask Your Tradie
• are you qualified and insured for hot tub/electrical work and can you provide certificates
• what is included in the initial call‑out and diagnostic charge
• do you offer parts warranty and labour warranty and how long do they last
• will you need to isolate the mains supply or call a qualified electrician and who arranges that
• how long will the work take and will I need to keep the tub drained or out of use afterwards
• do you provide safe disposal of contaminated water and old components and is that charged separately
How to Avoid Surprises
• clear a safe working area and provide flat access to the tub
• confirm parking and a place for the van near the property to avoid parking charges or delays
• advise the tradie of restricted access, gates or steep steps before booking
• isolate the electrical supply if possible or confirm the technician will do so and keep pets away
• check whether common spare parts are in stock or will need ordering to avoid repeat visits
