Heat mats don't really do much for ambient temps from what I understand - getting a second and setting it at 80 may only raise your ambient to 76-77 if your lucky. My appartment stays at 68 in the winter - so I have to use two CHE's on thermostats since I don't use heat mats or tape. You'll need to get the temperatures in that area up. Some people use a space heater (not an oil one or gas-based since you don't want carbon monoxide in your house), and I've read where others hand a heat lamp over the tub - not close enough to melt the plastic and it will need to be watched closely so you don't get the ambient too hot.
Hopefully someone with Tub experience will get on and help more.
