Ice Baths & Cold Plunge Tubs — Handmade in Britain, Built for Serious Cold Immersion

An ice bath isn't a gadget — it's a daily tool for nervous-system regulation, post-training recovery and mental resilience. The science of cold-water immersion is settled; the real question is whether your tub can take 365 days a year of sub-5°C water, condensation, chiller cycling and full-body immersion without crazing, leaking or losing its finish.

Every Omnitub ice bath is handmade in Somerset from Omnigel — our proprietary built-up system of high-performance resins and protective agents, laid up in 7 layers as standard and up to 13 layers with our cold-plunge insulation upgrade. The result: a non-slip, warm-to-the-touch interior, an exterior that shrugs off UK weather, and a finish covered by a 30-year manufacturer's warranty.

The Insulation Upgrade — Designed for Outdoor, Commercial & Recirculating Cold Plunge

For real-world cold plunge — outdoors, in spa facilities, or wired into a chiller/heater loop — surface alone isn't enough. The insulation upgrade adds up to 100mm of high-density insulation across four sides plus underside-of-seat, sealed under three additional Omnigel layers and a structural exterior coat.

• Holds cold-plunge temperature far longer — your chiller cycles less, energy bills drop
• Eliminates exterior condensation — the gap between sub-5°C water and ambient air no longer pulls moisture out of the room
• Insulation thickness from 25mm (light spec) up to 100mm (extreme/outdoor)
• Round tubs ship with 50mm insulation as standard
• Base insulation optional — adds height but eliminates floor-cold transfer for hard concrete or paving installs

Insulated builds are price-on-application — message us on WhatsApp or call to scope your specification and timeline.

Cold Plunge Sizes & Internal Depths

We make ice baths in four families — pick by use case rather than by size alone.

• 1000 × 1000mm Stepped Square Plunge — 1500mm internal depth. Full upright cold immersion to the neck. The serious-athlete / dedicated-plunge-room spec.
• 1195 × 825mm Rectangular Plunge — 1200mm internal depth. Standing or knees-bent immersion in a compact footprint. Fits through standard doorways.
• 1500mm-diameter Round Soaking Tub — 1000mm depth, integrated seat. Ships with 50mm insulation as standard. Popular in outdoor garden installs and Japanese-style retreats.
• Deep Soaking Bathtubs — 600mm depth, 1050mm to 1900mm length. The compromise spec: full-immersion ice bath that still sits in a regular bathroom footprint. Ideal where space won't allow a dedicated plunge tub.

Cold Plunge for Hotels, Spas & Wellness Operators

If you're a spa operator, hotel developer, gym owner or architect scoping a recovery zone or wellness facility, the standard catalogue is the starting point. We build to bespoke dimensions, integrate jet systems, chillers, fill/drain configurations and custom finishes, and we work directly with your specification team from brief stage onwards. Multiple-quantity commercial orders are welcomed with a dedicated project contact.

Frequently Asked — Ice Baths

How cold does the water get? The tub itself doesn't chill water — pair it with an off-the-shelf cold-plunge chiller (we can recommend brands matched to each tub size). Most users run at 2–10°C depending on tolerance.

Indoor or outdoor? Both. The insulation upgrade is what makes the difference for outdoor installs in UK weather — without it, you'll see condensation in colder months and faster temperature loss.

How heavy is a full ice bath? A 1000 × 1000 × 1500mm plunge holds roughly 1,500 litres = around 1,500kg of water. Always check floor loading on suspended or upstairs installs — we can supply weight-with-water specs on request.

Lead time? White stock dispatches same-day if ordered before 10am. Coloured builds run a roughly 14-working-day lead time. Insulated & bespoke specs are quoted per project.
