Well, my name is Gary Stevens and here are my thoughts…..as one of the few remaining acrylic bath manufacturers in the UK I get annoyed each time I read comments that state showering is so much more environmentally friendly than taking a bath. I was very interested to read the recent news report on the BBC website “Peoples Showering Habits revealed in a Unilever Survey”.
The research, which used water loggers (shower sensors) to monitor 2,600 showers in 100 families over a 10 day period, revealed that the average shower was 8 minutes long and used 62 litres compared to an average bath at 80 litres, a closer gap than was previously believed.

The competition prize was for a Comfort Airbath, a model from the range that retails at £1985, to be given for display to a qualifying bathroom showroom.

Reva Industries Ltd., acrylic bath manufacturer based in Hull, is looking forward to a bright future with recent investment and sales growth in their UK manufactured product. Based in a 60,000 sq ft site on Rotterdam Road in the Sutton Fields Industrial estate, Reva has been manufacturing acrylic baths in Hull since 1993. Originally a Belgium owned company until the current MD, Gary Stevens took the business through an MBO in 2005 and built the business to manufacture 10% of the UK’s acrylic bath demand.
Reva Industries Ltd started in Hull in 1993. It was originally owned by a Belgium company, utilising a less expensive labour force to manufacture acrylic baths and vanity units which were then distributed to customers across Europe. Reva specialised in the manufacture of own label baths for large distributors and bathroom manufacturers.
After a management buyout at Reva Industries Ltd in 2005, some may have thought that communication between the company and it’s previous owner could have come to an end but Reva have used their long standing relationship with former director, Domien Loosveldt to their mutual benefit.
The best kept secret in UK bathroom manufacturing, Reva are a young and dynamic bathroom manufacturing company. A 72% increase in turnover over the last three years has seen Reva grow to be the fourth largest in the bathroom industry. This growth has lead to the company consolidating its three current sites into one, whilst generating a 26% increase in area.
