How to use the laminate floor repair kit
Using our laminate floor repair kits is simple, as Fix-A-Floor has streamlined our products so even the most novice DIY enthusiasts can use them effectively. Follow these laminate floor repair instructions:
- Choose between the 10:1 ratio caulk gun to use the laminate floor fixer adhesive or, for more precise application, the 60 ml syringe – part of our laminate floor injector kit.
- Next, drill some small holes in your laminate floor where you have creaky or moving floorboards.
- Take off the cap of the adhesive tube and load it into the caulk gun. Insert the end of the tube into the drilled holes and slowly squeeze the trigger to allow a steady, controlled stream to fill the holes.
- Use the micro-precision adapters or 60 ml syringe kit when fixing laminate floor gaps, for precise application.
- Wipe away any excess spillage with a non-abrasive damp cloth.
- Allow the adhesive to cure for at least 24 hours and place a weighted object, like a bucket of water, on the area you’ve applied.
- Once cured, apply a matching wood-filler to the holes drilled to camouflage the repair.

FAQs
The typical ways laminate flooring can get damaged include heavy furniture being dragged or dropped causing scratches or gouges, water damage from leaks, spills or high humidity, as well as incorrect installation. Using improper adhesives will result in loose, uneven-laid laminate, which can cause tears and rips at the seams over time. Other ways it can become damaged also include exposure to UV rays that will discolour the flooring over time.

Cleaning up the adhesive is easy and can simply be wiped up with a damp, non-abrasive cloth like an all-purpose J Cloth or sponge. If any dried adhesive needs to be cleaned up, we have our adhesive remover that effortlessly removes dried adhesive left on tiles or flooring.
The only aspect of repair that might be visible is the refilled grout where you have drilled. Ensure you use matching grout or filler when applying to the drilled holes.
