Advice and Info

We try to make it as simple as possible for you to hire , rent or buy a sunbed. Once you have indentified the Sunbed(s) that you would like, an initial payment will ensure that it will be reserved for you and delivered on your requested date. The initial payment consists of a £250 installation fee and your first month’s rent / hire.

You will be given a contract to sign for 12 months sunbed rental. You will also provide two forms of ID (one including a photo and address, the other a Utility Bill).

As you have paid the first month’s sunbed rent, the following eleven payments will be paid by direct debit (we will give you a simple form to hand in at your bank).

Following the completion of the 12 months, you may decide to keep the sunbed (in which case there is no action needed to be taken), you may decide to buy the Sunbed or you may ask us to collect the Sunbed and cancel the direct debit. It’s as simple as that.

Once the Sunbed has completed 500 hours (each bed is fitted with an hour counter), you must meet the cost of retubing it. We will only charge you the wholesale cost price of tubes ( typically about £12 per tube). Therefore a 40-tube Sunbed would cost £480 to retube.

At the end of your 12 month contract, if your bed has completed 500 hrs and you want to sign a new 12 month contract, we will  retube the Sunbed for you at no extra charge. Remember that by the time your Sunbed has completed 500 hours it will have taken around £10,000 (If you charge your customers £1 for 3 minutes).

Whilst renting the sunbed you do NOT pay for Maintenance.

In terms of Insurance, your shop policy will have a sum insured for ‘Fixtures & Fittings’ and you should ensure that the figure covers the cost of the Sunbed(s). The value of your particular Sunbed will be included in the contract but typically it would be £4000-£7000. We will require your insurance to cover the full cost of the sunbed(s).

The size of the room that your Sunbed is situated in is of upmost importance. It can be off-putting for a customer to squeeze through the door with little or no room to undress before tanning. The larger the room, the better the ventilation and a greater chance of customer satisfaction.

We do however realize that sometimes a large room just isn’t possible, especially in Salons where you need to maximize earnings by accommodating as many Sunbeds as possible.  Our experience and expertise should be helpful in these situations as each sunbed has different attributes and your particular room may be best suited to a particular model.

Sunbed Fitting Procurements

Technical Details

A separate electrical supply that runs to your Sunbed room is required. The price can range between £200 – £400 depending on the distance between your electric meter and the sunbed room. We would advise that you  get a couple of quotes. Just show the information below  to your electrician and they will give you a price.

Before your Sunbed is delivered you will need to ensure the following

A single phase 16mm (Twin & Earth) cable needs to run from your fuseboard to a 63amp wall mounted rotary isolator switch in your Sunbed room. The rotary isolator switch  should be positioned to the right hand side of where the Sunbed will be situated, approximately 5feet high on the wall. The fuseboard must have a separate circuit breaker for each Sunbed. Usually a Stand Up Sunbed needs a Type C 63amp breaker while a Lie down sunbed needs a Type C 50amp breaker.

If you have a 3 phase electrical supply into the premises (mandatory for more than two Sunbeds) then the circuit breaker in your fuseboard should be 3 x 20amp for a Lie Down Sunbed or 3 x 32amp for a Stand Up sunbed. The cable from the fuseboard to the rotary switch should be 4mm per phase for a Lie Down sunbed and 6mm per phase for a Stand Up sunbed.

If your electrician fits a RCD/RCB/RCBO then it should be 100mA trip, NOT the standard 30mA trip
