Sunbed Hire FAQs

QUESTIONS & ANSWERS FOR HOME HIRE SUNBEDS


Q. Can the sunbed be set up in an upstairs room?
A. Yes. The sunbeds come in a number of parts and so can be put together in any room by our driver for you.However please note driver will not put the bed up a fold down attic stairs.
Q. What size are the sunbeds?
A. The stand up sunbeds are similar in size to a single wardrobe. The lie down sunbeds are similar in size to a single bed
Q. Do I need to have someone present to help set the sunbed up?
A. No. Our delivery technician sets up the sunbed and needs no assistance
Q. The Door Panel on my bed does not work or bulbs will not come on.
A. Unplug the sunbed from the wall sockets. Check the white or black cable connection at the very bottom corner of the door. It may have become loose. Plug it out and plug it back in tight. Then plug the sunbed back in at the wall socket. All panels on your sunbed have this connection at the bottom however, the door or other one,s can sometimes come loose due to opening and closing or the cable can get knocked out by hoover or cleaning around the sunbed.99% of the time this solves the problem with a panel not working.
Q. What happens if the bed breaks down?
A. The beds are serviced regularly and should not break down. All of our Stand Up Sunbeds have 2 plugs which must be plugged directly to the wall sockets. Therefore, you must have a double socket in the room in which the bed is to be used and NEVER use an extension lead as this does not have sufficient power to run the bed.In the event of the bed not powering up please try the following:
  • Unplug the bed at the socket. Try plugging in your hairdryer or other electric device to make sure a fuse has not blown or tripped back at your main fuse/trip board.
  • Plug the bed into another socket to see if it works.
  • Check that there are no tripped switches on your main fuse/trip board
  • Are there any other devices drawing power, for example if the dryer is on at the same time this could cause a trip on your main fuse board?

Q. What do I do if I want to keep the bed longer?
A. Call us on freephone 1800 786 233 to book it for longer or email us on bronzeage@tan.ie. It is advised to do so as soon as you can as during peak season your sunbed may be booked out again to another customer and so it may not always be possible to accommodate you.
Q. Can I move the bed?
A. It is advised not to move the sunbed once it has been set up for you as rough handling may damage or loosen bulbs or could damage the sunbed.please note any sunbed moved and damaged by the renter can lead to a charge by bronze Age Tanning limited
Q. How much electricity can I expect the bed to use?
A. The beds do not use excessive electricity. You can expect to pay 10 to 40 euro on your electricity bill, based on 1 to 4 people using the bed. It is good to note that it is the powering up of the bed that uses most electricity.
Q. The bed does not look like I thought it would
A. If you use sunbeds in a store it is widely thought that the commercial sunbeds in the stores are the same as the bed you hire to your home. The beds in a store are for commercial use and would require electrical work to install in a home. The domestic beds are designed for the electrical power found in a house.
Q. How many minutes should I do for each session?
A. There is no such thing as a quick tan. The booking office should have sent warning sheet / user guide by watsapp that will advise you on the recommended usage times.If you have not read it or got it please contact us to send it again.For the first week tanners should begin at 2/3 minutes and work up gradually.
Q. I and others using the bed are itching
A. This is called 'prickly heat' and is caused by over exposure on the bed too quickly. Take a 2 day break from the bed and then reduce your tanning time and build up slowly to avoid itching and burning.
Q. I have the bed a week and am not seeing any tan develop
A. It usually takes about 4 weeks to develop a tan and to lose it as the human body replaces all of its skin in about 28 days . The first week is done slowly to get your skin used to the UV Light and build a base, the second week you build up slowly your tanning time and develop the base tan. The final 2 weeks begin to colour the skin. This is providing your skin type takes a colour. Remember never burn slow and gently tanning never burn ever
