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.
We have structured the programme so the committee can commit in stages. Phase 1 is the wet areas - every shower floor in the building - because those are the floors that are failing and the ones to finish before the season starts. Phase 2 is the dry areas: all six changing rooms and the downstairs corridor. Phase 3 completes the building: the entrance foyer, the upstairs corridor and the staircase. Each phase stands on its own price, so you can approve them together or one at a time - and if the club confirms all three together, 5% comes off the whole programme.

Drag the sliders below to see the building after. 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 floors you asked us to fix first, done first - and the part of the building you told us nobody else would quote. The main shower room, the large shower room and the shower areas in both referees' rooms: red quarry tile overlaid with wet-rated safety vinyl, coved at the walls, falls to drain preserved. Complete before the season starts.
Every changing room in the building - rooms 1 to 6 - plus the connecting corridor, in heavy-duty safety vinyl rated for stud traffic. We work room by room so the club stays open throughout. 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.
The floors that link everything together: the L-shaped entrance foyer, the upstairs corridor and the dog-leg staircase, finished with proper contrasting nosings on every tread. The upstairs corridor area and final tread count are confirmed at measure-up before we order. Separately, you told us the compressor push-button showers are a constant maintenance headache - we will quote 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.
Every phase is priced at all three specification levels - Standard, Mid and Premium, detailed in section 05 below - so the committee can choose the spec and phase the spend however suits the club. All prices exclude VAT.

Standard £19,780 · Mid £22,694 · Premium £26,244 ex VAT - one continuous programme, whole building finished before the season starts.
These are the Standard, Mid and Premium columns in the table above. Same phases, same programme - the difference is the product that goes down.
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, corridors and circulation areas. The specification most clubs choose.
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. Confirm all three phases and the 5% programme discount applies.
