Before you buy
What changes the price of commercial sunbeds for sale
Two commercial tanning beds that look alike can be thousands of pounds apart. When you are looking to buy commercial sunbeds, these are the things that move the price.
Lay down or stand-up
Stand-up booths cost less and fit smaller rooms. Lay down sunbeds with a full canopy are the core of most tanning salons and where premium features make the biggest difference to the tanning experience.
Brand and model
megaSun sunbeds, Ergoline and Luxura sunbeds each have entry, mid-range and flagship models. Hybrid UV and collagen lamps, LED lighting and the control timer system are what separate premium from standard.
New or reconditioned
A professionally reconditioned sunbed is stripped, cleaned, refurbished and fitted with new tanning lamps. It is a cost-effective way to put a premium professional tanning brand on the salon floor.
What is included
Check whether the price covers UK delivery and professional installation, commissioning, staff training and warranty, and ask for it in writing. We will set out what is included in your quote.
Buy, finance or rent
Buying vs sunbed finance vs sunbed hire
How you pay changes the upfront cost and what you own at the end. Commercial sunbeds are built for all-day salon use, so compare them with other commercial equipment rather than sunbeds for home use.
| Buy outright | Sunbed finance | Sunbed rental | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Upfront cost | Full price | Low, spread monthly (from £220 + VAT, subject to status) | Low |
| Who owns the sunbed | You, from day one | Depends on the agreement | The rental provider |
| Choice of model | Any model | Any model | What the rental company has available |
| Best for | Established salons with capital | New salons and upgrades | Short-term or seasonal capacity |
The advantages of renting are flexibility and a low upfront cost. For a permanent tanning salon, rental charges usually overtake finance over time. See commercial sunbed lease and finance for the detail, see reconditioned sunbeds, or check your premises with the salon planner.
Service & engineering support
When a bed is down, it isn’t earning
We understand how important it is to keep your equipment running and your business operational.
- We aim to respond to all enquiries within 12 hours
- Engineers typically attend within 3-5 working days of a fault being reported
- Subject to location, engineer availability and parts requirements
Reliability matters as much as the purchase price. Replacement tanning lamps and servicing are available for tanning salons across the UK, and worn acrylics and parts are part of keeping a bed earning. See sunbed servicing and repairs.
If repeat call outs are becoming the norm, read how Platinum Tanning decided when replacing an older bed made more commercial sense than repairing it.
Installation requirements
Room size for megaSun and Ergoline sunbeds
General guidance only. Adequate clearance must always be kept above and around the equipment for ventilation, servicing and maintenance access.
| megaSun | Ergoline | |
|---|---|---|
| Lay down sunbeds | 2.5m × 2.5m | 2.5m × 2.5m |
| Stand up sunbeds | 2.0m × 1.8m | Typically 2.0m × 1.8m |
| Larger vertical models | — | May require approx. 2.5m × 2.5m |
| Ceiling height (vertical units) | Typically 2.4m minimum | Typically 2.4m minimum |
Electrical
Most commercial megaSun and Ergoline equipment requires a suitable 3-phase electrical supply, with a correctly rated rotary isolator installed for each unit. A minimum 32A rotary isolator is commonly required, but the exact specification depends on the individual model and configuration and must be confirmed before installation.
Ventilation
Commercial tanning equipment produces significant heat. Provision is normally needed for both fresh air intake and hot air extraction, and the exact setup depends on the model and the layout of your premises.
Your premises
Room size, suspended ceilings, neighbouring units, external walls and available ducting routes all influence the final design. We advise on the right setup before installation, as we did from an empty shell at Paradise Tanning & Beauty.
All dimensions and technical information are provided as general guidance only. Exact electrical, ventilation, clearance and room requirements vary by equipment model and your salon layout. See delivery & installation for how the process runs.
FAQ
Sunbed prices and installation: common questions
How much does a commercial sunbed cost in the UK?
Commercial lay down sunbeds start from £10,500 + VAT and commercial stand up sunbeds from £5,000 + VAT. Premium lay down models start from £18,500 + VAT and premium stand up models from £9,000 + VAT. Both new and professionally reconditioned models are available.
Can I get a commercial sunbed on finance?
Yes. Finance options start from £220 + VAT per month, subject to status, equipment value and finance approval.
Do commercial sunbeds need a 3-phase electrical supply?
Most commercial megaSun and Ergoline equipment requires a suitable 3-phase supply with a correctly rated rotary isolator for each unit. A minimum 32A rotary isolator is commonly required, but the exact specification depends on the model and must be confirmed before installation.
How much space does a sunbed need?
As a general guide, allow about 2.5m × 2.5m for a lay down sunbed and 2.0m × 1.8m for a stand up, with a ceiling height of typically 2.4m or more for vertical units. Extra clearance is needed above and around the equipment for ventilation, servicing and maintenance.
Should I buy, finance or rent a commercial sunbed?
Buying outright costs least overall if you have the capital. Sunbed finance, from £220 + VAT per month subject to status, keeps the upfront cost low and lets you choose any model. Sunbed hire from a rental provider suits short-term capacity, but for a permanent tanning salon rental usually costs more over time.
What running costs should I budget for after buying a sunbed?
Electricity, replacement tanning lamps (tubes), acrylics as they wear, cleaning products and servicing. Lamp replacement is a major routine cost, so ask how many hours the lamps are rated for on any model you are considering. Our guide to sunbed running costs sets these out.
How quickly can an engineer attend if a sunbed breaks down?
We aim to respond to all enquiries within 12 hours. Our engineering team typically attends within 3-5 working days of a fault being reported, subject to location, engineer availability and parts requirements.
