"Have hired these sunbeds 4 times now, Louis is extremely reliable and will work around my availability for drop off and pick up. Excellent sunbeds, always get a lovely pre holiday tan from 4 week use. Would highly recommend."

Lindsay WoodGoogle review

"I've hired sunbeds from Louis for over a year now and they're by far the best sunbeds I've used, the tubes are strong and we've always had the best tan, couldn't fault them at all! I recommend them to anyone and everyone!"

"Amazing service! Very polite, chatty and professional when installing the sunbed. The tan is amazing off these beds, I'd 100% recommend!"

Heather SkerrittGoogle review
★★★★★

"Absolutely love it. Only planned to have it for 4 weeks but I think I've had it for almost 3/4 months now — just can't let it go, and the prices are so fair and reasonable. Would never go to anyone else now! Definitely recommend."

Tan responsibly

Sunbed safety, in plain English.

All our sunbeds are 0.3-compliant — the maximum UV output allowed under UK and EU law, roughly equivalent to midday Mediterranean sun. That's a legal ceiling, not a target, and how long you should tan for still depends on your skin.

How tanning works

UV light triggers melanin — the pigment that darkens your skin — as a defence response. UVB tubes mainly drive that colour change, while UVA reaches deeper and helps the tan develop and last. A 0.3-compliant sunbed is calibrated so that response happens without exceeding the same intensity as strong midday sun, but everyone's skin reacts differently, which is why starting times vary by skin type.

Fair skin, red or blonde hair

Start short

Burns easily and rarely tans deeply. Start around 5–8 minutes and increase gradually, watching how your skin responds each session.

Medium, olive skin

Build steadily

Tans more readily with lower burn risk. 8–12 minutes is a sensible starting point, building up over your first few sessions.

Dark skin, black hair

Still take it slow

Lower burn risk but not zero — overuse still ages skin and carries the same long-term risks. 10–15 minutes is typical, never straight to the maximum.

Please check before you book

Sunbeds aren't suitable for everyone. As a guide, you probably shouldn't use one if any of the following apply — if in doubt, check with a doctor first.

Good practice every session

FAQ

Do I pay upfront for a hire?

Yes — the full hire fee is due on delivery, by bank transfer or cash.

How much space do I need?

Just 1m² of floor space — any room can become your personal tanning salon.

Is eye protection included?

Yes, every hire includes a pair of sunbed goggles, free of charge.

What ID do I need to buy or hire?

Two forms of ID: proof of address (a recent letter or bill) and photo ID (passport, driving licence or government ID). We strictly do not sell or hire beds to anyone under 18.

Can I extend my hire period?

Yes — just let us know at least 7 days before your hire ends, as we take advance bookings.

When should I book?

March–September is our busiest period, as people build a tan for summer, holidays and events — book as early as possible. Late autumn/winter has better availability, often 48-hour delivery, and cheaper rates.

Can I power the sunbed through an extension lead?

The standard Caribbean runs from a single 13 amp plug, so it can be used with a suitable heavy-duty extension lead if there isn't a socket nearby. The Caribbean Max and Sapphire draw power through two 13 amp sockets, so for those we always recommend plugging directly into wall sockets.

What happens on delivery day?

We'll agree a day in advance and give you a call or text on the way. Once we arrive, we set the bed up, run through how everything works, and leave you ready to go — usually done within 20–30 minutes.

How long should each session be?

It depends on your skin — see our sunbed safety guide above for starting points by skin type. As a rule, start short and build up gradually rather than going straight to a long session.

What if my plans change and I need to cancel or move my booking?

Just get in touch as early as you can — the more notice you give us, the more flexible we can be with rearranging your date or sorting a refund.
