The sample you liked is a commercial safety vinyl. The clear beads are quartz aggregate carried inside the wear layer itself, so the floor feels smooth underfoot but still grips when soaking wet. It is the standard specification for sports club wet areas, and it ends the repaint-every-two-years cycle for good.
We go over the existing floor rather than breaking out tiles. It is faster, cleaner and cheaper, with no skips of waste through your building, and it is how we hit your mid-September deadline.
Every tile tap-tested; any loose or hollow spots made good first.
Acrylic primer keyed to the existing non-porous surface.
3-5mm fibre-reinforced levelling screed, preserving falls to the drains.
Two-part PU adhesive in wet areas. No shortcuts on the glue.
Safety vinyl laid, joints welded, 100mm coved skirting throughout.
What actually goes down, layer by layer: your existing tiles stay put, then primer, a fibre-reinforced self-levelling screed, two-part PU adhesive, and the safety vinyl itself turning up the wall into the coved skirting. One sealed, watertight assembly with no joints for water to find.
These are indicative visualisations built from the photographs taken on site on 23 July, showing the safety vinyl you selected plus the light grey and black decoration scheme you described. Final colours are chosen from the manufacturer's range before we order.
The floor you asked us to fix first, done first - and the part of the building you told us nobody else would quote. Red quarry tile overlaid with wet-rated safety vinyl, coved at the walls, falls to drain preserved. Complete before the season starts.
All five changing rooms, the connecting corridor and the large changing room 6, quoted as separate lines so you can phase them however suits the club. The visuals below also show the decoration scheme you mentioned - light grey walls with black benches and fittings - which we can deliver or project-manage alongside the flooring.
Priced separately so the club can add them when funds allow: the entrance hallway (£2,750), the staircase with proper nosings (£4,650, subject to a confirmed tread count), and the shower system itself. You told us the compressor push-button showers are a constant maintenance headache - we will quote separately for replacing them with self-regulating showers like the ones in the referees' and ladies' rooms: consistent hot water, proper pressure, water that actually lands on the player. We can also project-manage the wall painting and club artwork as part of the same programme.

Commit Phase 1 and Phase 2 together and we complete the whole core scope in one continuous programme before the season starts: £24,605 ex VAT, saving the club £1,295.
A single proven safety vinyl throughout. Fully wet-rated in the showers, hard-wearing everywhere else. The budget-conscious route that still ends the repainting cycle.
Premium wet-room vinyl in the showers, heavy-duty decorative safety vinyl in the changing rooms and corridor. The specification most clubs choose, and the one priced through this quotation.
Top-tier wet-room system plus rubber sheet in the stud-traffic corridor. The longest-life answer for a rugby club, if the committee wants to buy once and forget about it.
Say the word and we lock the programme in now, so the floors are down and cured well before the first fixture in mid-September.
