Repairing a vinyl floor seam (flooring, Lowes, bathroom, glue)

[TN Lily]

I have a vinyl floor in the bathroom that is coming apart at a seam. It is not a big spot - a few inches. It is to the side of the toilet. How can I fix this?

Thank you in advance!

Vinyl flooring seam adhesive.
You can get some at Lowes or HD.

After you use the seaming glue press the seam down to let excess glue ooze out. Also then cover it with wax paper and put a some weight on the paper (like books) to keep the seam pressed down. If any additional oozing, easy to get the wax paper up and to clean the seam.

Hope this helps.

Find the source of the problem that caused the separation first.

Is there or has there been a leak?

If it raised up by the toilet, there is a leak.........

Of course, the 'leak' may be from above if there are men in the house

If the toilet is not oozing water make sure you gently 'lift' the edges and make sure it's clean and dry underneath before gluing back down.

There is no leak. The house is an 11 year old Nationwide Modular. The finish work in this house is not the greatest. I think the floor is an issue of workmanship --- putting in a floor with the intent to get the place sold and no concern over how long it would last.
