Specialist base installation
An ice bath base needs to carry the filled tub, keep the chiller steady and manage splash and drain-down water.

Built for this application
Cold plunge products range from light insulated pods to rigid plumbed tubs with an external chiller. Water weight, equipment position and the way the unit drains determine what the base must do.
We create a firm, level area sized for the tub, access and chiller rather than stopping at the vessel footprint alone.
Options, assessed properly
The methods below are possibilities to assess—not interchangeable specifications. We match the foundation to the product, loads, support points, ground and access.
Paving slabs
A compacted and accurately laid paved area creates a clean platform for many domestic plunge tubs and their chillers.
Often worth considering for: Compact tubs and garden wellness corners
From £620 for 9' × 5' (45 ft² / 4.18 m²)
Concrete
A concrete pad provides rigid support for larger integrated units and can be coordinated with a surrounding non-slip finish.
Often worth considering for: Heavy rigid tubs and permanent plumbed installations
From £695 for 8' × 6' (48 ft² / 4.46 m²)
Timber frame
A structurally checked frame or deck may be possible, but it must be verified for the concentrated filled load and kept clear of persistent moisture.
Often worth considering for: Raised wellness decks designed for the exact tub
From £840 for 8' × 6' (48 ft² / 4.46 m²)
These starting points come directly from the current JustBases pricing data. No VAT is added to the guide prices shown. Your quotation confirms the suitable system and exact scope.
Before installation
Confirm whether the advertised dimensions include the chiller and hose bend radius. Service equipment should not be squeezed against a wall after the base is complete.
Electrical protection and water discharge must be agreed with the appropriate installers; the base creates the platform but does not replace those designs.
JustBases quotes the agreed foundation and groundwork. Product installation, specialist connections, commissioning and third-party design remain outside our scope unless the written quotation expressly includes them.
A simple route forward
Tell us about the ice bath, approximate size and site. We will identify any useful supplier information.
We assess access, levels, support requirements and ground, then provide a clear written quotation.
Our team installs the agreed base and leaves it ready for the approved building or equipment installer.
Genuine customer feedback
"I couldn't recommend Craig highly enough! Communication prior to the job was outstanding even considering our ever changing goal posts. Craig and his team turned up exactly at the agreed time, were well presented, friendly and professional. The cleanliness, attention to detail and quality of the job was outstanding."
"Good standard of workmanship. Friendly and efficient. Prompt response for estimate and fitted into our timescale. Will be using the firm in future and thoroughly recommend them."
"Craig and his team were very professional throughout the job. They worked tirelessly and extremely hard. The job involved digging up a thick reinforced concrete base. Then creating a whole new base with precision engineering in preparation to accept a new building on top. The result was an excellent job all round."
