Custom gunite spas designed for Westminster — accessible step-in entries for multigenerational use, attached or spillover retrofits to existing 1960s pools, and standalone designs for tighter Little Saigon corridor lots.
Custom Spas
WESTMINSTER SPA BUILDERS
Custom Spa Construction Across Westminster
Most original Westminster pools never had a spa. We retrofit attached or spillover spas onto existing pools as part of a wider remodel — particularly common given the city's aging 1960s pool stock. Tighter Little Saigon corridor lots favor compact stand-alones with bench seating. Multigenerational households often want accessible step-in entries for older family members.
Werth Builders has been building Westminster spas since 1994. Spillover, standalone, attached, raised, infinity-edge — designed for the lot, the existing pool, and the multigenerational way the spa gets used.

SPA OPTIONS
Custom Spa Configurations We Build
Every Westminster backyard is different. Here are the configurations we work with most.
Spillover Spa
The classic — spa raised above pool with sheeting water spilling over a tiled wall. Visually striking and functionally efficient (one heater serves both).
Standalone In-Ground Spa
Custom gunite spa, no pool needed. Built to your exact dimensions and finish — common for backyards that already have a pool, or yards that don't fit a full pool.
Attached Spa
Spa built into the same shell wall as the pool, sharing a tile cap. Cleanest look for modern architecture and infinity-edge designs.
Raised Spa with Tile Wall
Spa elevated above deck height with a finished stacked-stone, tile, or board-formed concrete wall. High-impact visual centerpiece.
Spa Retrofit
Adding a spa to an existing pool. We tie into existing plumbing or add dedicated equipment, match the new spa finish to a fresh pool resurface.
Equipment & Automation
Variable-speed pumps, low-NOx heaters, and smart controllers — including marine-grade specs when the property requires them.
CUSTOM vs PREFAB
Should I Build Custom or Buy a Prefab Spa?
Both work. Both have homeowners that swear by them. Here is the honest comparison so you can decide what fits your Westminster backyard.
Prefab / Portable Spa
Drop-in acrylic or rotomolded shell, 110V or 220V plug-in, no permitting in most cases. Lasts 10-15 years. Fastest path to soaking but lower resale value and cannot be customized.
$8K–$20K InstalledCustom Gunite Spa
Built into the ground, finished with the same tile and plaster as a pool, lasts 30+ years. Fully custom dimensions, depth, seating, and equipment. Adds property value.
$25K–$50KSpillover Spa (with new pool)
Best-in-class look and the most efficient option if you are already building a pool — shared equipment, shared finish, single permit application.
$15K–$30K (incremental)Spa Retrofit (existing pool)
Adding a spa to a pool that does not currently have one. Plumbing tie-ins, partial pool drain, structural and finish work. Mid-range cost, high-impact change.

Spa Building Tuned to Westminster
Building a custom spa here means understanding this city specifically — climate, soils, permitting, and the way Westminster homeowners actually use their backyards.
Spa Retrofits for 1960s Pools
Most original Westminster pools never had a spa. We retrofit attached or spillover spas as part of a wider remodel, tying into existing pool plumbing or adding dedicated equipment as needed.
Accessible Multigenerational Spa Designs
Westminster homes often host older family members. Wide-step entries, ergonomic bench seating, easy-grip rails, and sound-tuned equipment for late-evening use are common requests. We design around the way the spa actually gets used.
Tight-Lot Standalone Spas
Tighter remodel-rebuild lots in the Little Saigon corridor and around Bolsa Avenue often suit a compact 7x8 standalone gunite spa with raised tile walls instead of a full pool.
Engineered for Westminster Soils
Spas built on Coastal Plain alluvium with shallow groundwater need engineered shells, dewatering during excavation, and hydrostatic relief. We engineer for the conditions on your specific lot.
OUR PROCESS
From First Call to First Soak
Five clear steps — same process whether you are adding a spa to a new pool, retrofitting an existing one, or building a standalone.
Free On-Site Consultation
We come to your Westminster home, walk the yard, talk through how you actually want to use the spa, and give honest feedback on what fits.

3-D rendering for full new builds. For retrofits, we bring tile, finish, and coping samples to your home so you can see them in your own light.
Itemized Quote & Permits
Fixed line-item pricing. We pull every City of Westminster permit and any Coastal Development Permit the property requires.
Construction
Excavation, steel, plumbing, gunite, tile, plaster, equipment. Daily on-site supervision. Most spa projects run 4-8 weeks.
Fill, Heat & Walk-Through
We fill the spa, balance the chemistry, run the heater up, and walk you through equipment, automation, and care.
