Reval

What Reval does

Reval Continuing Care Ltd, established in 2004 as the UK subsidiary of French medical equipment manufacturer Group Reval (founded 1976 in La Rochelle), designs, manufactures, and installs assisted bathing, showering, hydrotherapy pool, and patient transfer equipment for the UK healthcare market. The company's core product lines include variable-height assisted baths (Caprice, Cocoon Ergo, Cocoon Keyhole, Transcare, Baria), showering systems (Crystal trolleys, Iris profiling table, Opale panels, Ruby mobile in-bed shower, Soflex chair), and hydrotherapy pools (Balneo, INOX stainless steel, Tonic, Butterfly), supported by accessories such as pool hoists, transfer stretchers, and bespoke in-bath padding. Technical differentiators include touchless control panels, anti-scald TMV3-certified valves, WRAS Category 5 compliance, a self-cleaning hydrotherapy system, and a four-mode spa therapy add-on (HydroSpa, ColourSpa, AromaSpa, AudioSpa). Products are manufactured to order with bespoke specifications.

Reval operates a direct-to-customer go-to-market model, with field-based product specialists conducting free demonstrations, site surveys, CAD drawings, and quotations, and factory-trained installation and service engineers covering the entire UK. The company sells primarily to enterprise care home groups (Signature, Baycroft, Majesticare, Abbeyfield, Olea Care, WCS Care, Ashmere Homes), NHS hospitals via the NHS Supply Chain, hospices, rehabilitation centres, and private individuals through case managers, with high-end care homes representing the primary segment. Revenue is generated through one-time capital equipment sales with a 3-year warranty, complemented by installation, commissioning, annual servicing, LOLER testing, and recurring spare parts supply guaranteed for up to 10 years. A lease purchase partnership with HH Business Finance offers 3-5 year payment plans, broadening accessibility for capital-constrained customers. Reval's competitive position rests on WRAS Category 5 regulatory approval (held by only two UK manufacturers), proprietary touchless and spa technologies, a UK-wide direct service network, and a 50-year group heritage in ergonomic care equipment.
