Hot Tub Spa Cabinets - Repair or Replace?

Question:

"I am needing to find out if the cabinet around the hottub can be repaired or replaced. Is it worth repairing or should it be replaced. The item is about 4 years old."

Answer:

Without actually seeing the condition of your cabinet, it is impossible for me to answer this question intelligently. After all, repairing can mean anything from a minor patch to a complete restoration project.

Also, if it is a high-quality unit, it should be easy to repair. However, if it is a low-cost unit that you can get cheaply at any bargain superstore, it is probably not worth putting any more money into.

I guess it all depends on how much time and money you want to invest before you can enjoy your hot tub without worrying about it falling apart on you.

So, talk to the manufacturer and find out what options they recommend. If they just want to sell you another cheap unit, then maybe it's time to think about whether you really want to go through this dilemma again in 4 years. If you really enjoy your hot tub, then perhaps it's time to step up to a better grade that will last many years and has more features than a superstore model, even if it means spending more money.

After all, any car you buy will take you from once place to another, but there are good reasons why people buy expensive cars. Expensive cars are well built so they last a long time, and they provide a much more enjoyable ride!
