An old or broken hot tub taking up the deck or backyard? We drain it, disassemble it, and haul it away — including tubs that have to be cut apart to clear a gate or fence line. Hot tub removal starts at a $600 minimum, plus dump fees, confirmed before we start.
Get a Free Quote Call 226-770-8678A hot tub is one of the few things around a Guelph property that homeowners genuinely can't handle themselves. It's heavy, it's full of water and electrical wiring, and it almost never fits back out through the gate it came in through. We handle the whole job start to finish.
We drain the tub on-site and safely disconnect any electrical or plumbing connections before touching the shell.
Most backyard hot tubs have to be cut into sections to clear decks, gates, and fence lines. We bring the tools to do it cleanly.
Motors, pumps, and metal frames are separated out for scrap recycling; the shell and foam are disposed of responsibly.
Hot tubs are deceptively heavy — a typical spa weighs several hundred pounds empty, and that's before accounting for water that's rarely fully drained by the time someone decides it's time to go. Add in 240V electrical hookups, GFCI wiring, and plumbing lines, and it's not a job for a couple of friends and a truck.
The bigger issue is almost always access. Hot tubs are typically installed on decks or in backyards before a fence goes up, and they usually don't fit back out the way they came in. We deal with this constantly in Guelph — the fix is to cut the acrylic shell into manageable sections on-site, which lets us clear a standard gate, side yard, or basement walkout without damaging your property.
The City of Guelph's Waste Resource Innovation Centre doesn't accept hot tubs directly from residents, and even if it did, getting a several-hundred-pound shell onto a trailer isn't realistic for most homeowners. We load, haul, and dispose of everything as part of one flat-quoted job.
The same equipment and approach applies to swim spas and above-ground pools that have reached the end of their life. If you're clearing a backyard that has an old hot tub, a pool deck, and general debris all at once, we can quote the whole job together rather than piecemeal.

Hot tub removal in Guelph starts at a $600 minimum, plus dump fees, depending on size, access, and whether it needs to be cut apart to get out of a backyard or deck. We confirm an exact price on-site or from photos before we book the job — no surprises.
No — we handle draining as part of the job. If it's already drained that can speed things up, but it's not required. We bring the tools to drain, disconnect, and disassemble on-site.
Yes — this is the most common scenario we see. Most hot tubs won't fit through a gate or down basement stairs in one piece, so we cut the shell into sections on-site and carry it out through whatever access is available.
We separate the materials as we go: the motor, pump, and metal frame are recycled as scrap, and the acrylic shell and foam insulation are disposed of responsibly. Working hot tubs in good condition can sometimes be picked up for reuse instead — ask us when you book.
Yes — swim spas, above-ground pools, and old pool decking are all jobs we take on. Pricing follows the same on-site quote process as hot tub removal.
