Pricing and Coverage
The cost of pool hire varies based on your location. All the pools are brought out to your home in person, and the further I have to drive the higher the cost will be. Standard pool hire includes delivery to your home and collection after the birth. Upgrades and additional hires are priced on top.
What do you get when you hire a pool?
A professional grade Birth Pool in a Box pool: either regular or mini size (please check your room size!)
6 weeks hire as standard, from 37-43 weeks, with the option to extend if you have an unexpectedly long pregnancy
Delivery to your home, with an appointment to ensure you are comfortable with the equipment and can ask any questions you have
All the disposable supplies needed for the pool: fitted liner, a 10m hose* to fill the pool, thermometer, sieve, mirror, anchor, dust sheet
Electric air pump to inflate and deflate the pool
Patch kit, in case of emergencies
Tap connectors to fit standard taps (you will need your own if you have unusually shaped or sized taps)
Dirty water pump and 10m hose** to empty the pool
Full written instructions on how to inflate, fill, empty and deflate the pool

Not sure which pool size you need?
How much does it cost and does Caz cover your area?
Basic pool hire starts at £140, plus a £10-40 travel charge which is based on your postcode
I typically deliver and collect all the pools in person, meaning the further away you live from BD4, the more I charge for travel. You are paying for a top quality, personalised, doorstep service. The service also includes me spending time explaining equipment and answering questions as well as being available during office hours for queries on the day of your birth. I also offer various upgrades, so that you can completely customise your hire!

How do you book a pool hire?
You can check out my pool availability via the button below, but if there is less than 3 months to your due date you will need to contact me directly to check for certain whether I have a pool available for you to hire around your EDD. Sometimes pools come back earlier than expected and this can sometimes mean an extra slot opening up at the last minute. If you would like to be put on a waiting list and/or you have some flexibility in terms of the delivery date, please let me know.

You will need to complete the booking form and read the T&Cs. To confirm your booking you will need to send a deposit payment of £20 which is made by checking out the booking fee item in my shop - you will be directed there after you have completed the form.
The remaining balance is due before or when I deliver the pool at approximately 37 weeks gestation, or via monthly direct debit over 3-5 months (if you have booked early enough).
In the delivery appointment I will take you through the box contents, give you instructions on storing the pool, doing a trial run and using the pool on the day, and answer any questions you may have.
At a convenient time after your birth you can ring or message me to let me know that the pool can be collected. I aim to collect the pool within a day or so after you have given birth so that you can have your house back and get on with enjoying your babymoon.
If your due date is MORE than 3 months away...
You can usually book straight away without contacting me first. Click the link below to start your booking. Book sooner rather than later as slots book up fast!
If your due date is LESS than 3 months away...
You need to contact me to check whether I have a pool available. Pools book up fast and I cannot hold slots. If you've already been in touch then go ahead and book!
A note on refunds:
I understand that birth is unpredictable and you may end up not giving birth in the pool for some reason, either because your birth plans change or because your birth is very fast.
If any of the disposable supplies are returned unopened then you will be entitled to a partial refund.
Unfortunately, I cannot refund for any opened but unused supplies, as all clients must be supplied with brand new and unopened items at the beginning of their hire.
