Sauna & recovery rooms
Recover like a pro. At home.
A private recovery suite in your garden, at your gym or at your club. We convert a shipping container into an insulated, finished room for sauna, ice bath and contrast therapy, with space to change and cool down. It's built in Thirsk and delivered ready to plug in. Prices start from £18,000.
- Insulated for year-round use as standard
- Designed & built in Thirsk, North Yorkshire
- Delivered across the UK
What's included as standard
- Spray foam insulation, internal cladding and LVT flooring
- Bifold or patio doors
- Spotlights and sockets
Popular upgrades: a sauna, an ice bath with chiller unit, AC and heating, a changing room and a washroom. See our Wellness Room model.
Who it's for
- Homeowners: a sauna and cold plunge steps from the back door, without giving up a room in the house.
- Gyms and studios: add a recovery offer and a reason for members to stay, without building work.
- Sports clubs: a recovery space next to the changing rooms for players after training and matches. See our sports club builds.
- Spas, holiday parks and glamping sites: a premium extra guests will pay for.
Layouts that work
20ft: a sauna cabin at one end, with an entry and changing area by the doors. The ice bath sits outside on decking or under a canopy.
40ft: three zones, with changing at the entrance, a shower or ice bath area in the middle, and the sauna at the far end.
The configurator lets you place each option and shows the price as you build.
Power, water and safety
A sauna heater needs its own electrical supply, so we'll check what your property can provide at the survey. All electrical work is installed and certified by qualified electricians. An ice bath with a chiller needs a power point and somewhere to drain. We'll plan the positions with you so the room is safe and easy to keep clean.

Questions
Good to know
Can I put a sauna in a shipping container?
Yes, as long as it's properly insulated, lined and ventilated, which is how we build every recovery room.
Do I need planning permission?
At home, a recovery room is usually treated like any garden building. See our planning guide. Commercial sites may need permission, and we can help.
Can you supply the sauna and ice bath?
Yes, both are available as options, fitted before delivery.
How long does it take?
Typically 4–6 weeks to build in our Thirsk workshop, then installed in a single day.
