Has Anyone Had Damaged Flooring Repaired?

My wife had her curling irons cooling on the cooktop with cords dangling down to the floor. The plugs were swallowed up underneath the slide out when it was retracted, damaging the surface of the flooring. Has anyone faced a problem comparable to this? Can this type of damage be repaired, short of replacing the entire floor? By whom? Jayco says they don't fix stuff like that. 2017 Precept 31UL.

Not much you can do to repair damage to the floor surface. Not sure what type of floor you have but the big problem with any floor repair is finding a good match to the existing floor. Your best bet is contact a local flooring company that does vinyl/wood floors, take some good pictures and let them have a look.

Problem is, unless you replace the entire floor the heat/cold when stored will affect the patch. It's not like a house where temps are fairly constant.

I had to have a small area cut open due to a screw starting to poke up. I talked with a local highly respected flooring gut and he recommended using Seam Sealer.
I just had this done a month ago, so we will see. When he was done, I couldn't even see where he made the cut.




Be aware there are two different basic types of vinyl seam sealer, epoxy (acrylic) and latex, they are not interchangeable.
Also, different vinyl's can use a different method. Some suggest that the sealer goes between the edges, some say on top. One vinyl always wanted a wide band of sealer under the seam.

In the RV they never use high quality flooring. But is well prone to more wear and extreme temperature differentiation. So an RV owner has to be inventive at least when mistakes happen. As said flooring specialist might help or get a floor mat or some other solution.

Since the flooring is a sheet rather than planks, I think it's going to be rough trying to replace a section or repair that floor.

We had a repair guy from a flooring shop repair about a 3" 'tear' in the flooring and he was able to repair. That was 6-7 months ago and it still looks great and we can't even see where the repair was done. Try talking to a reputable floor store for a possible fix and good luck.

I repaired a straight rip in the flooring 4" long, as a result of a screw protruding from the bottom of the slide, that I put there. I used the seam adhesive. Once it had dried I filled in any gap with the adhesive and when filled and dry I covered it with a piece of clear pkg tape, 2" wide to try and prevent anyone or thing catching the seam edge. It was in flooring with squares in the pattern and multiple colours. It was hard to find the repair. By the time we traded the unit I forgot about the repair but when cleaning the floor for the last time I took the tape off but it stayed on for about 3 years. Because of the pattern it was an easier rip to hide. Maybe try a diy repair and if not acceptable get a flooring repair person to do it.
