Laminate floor repair

[geocycle]

I have a length of laminate flooring that needs replacing in the bathroom. It’s right in the middle of the floor and I assume it’s tongue and groove. What’s the best way of removing and reinstating a new bit?

Speaking as a non DIY person, my thoughts are ..... if it's tongue and groove, then the only way of removing from the middle, would be to smash the tongue on one side.

Then refitting, the tongue would have to be removed from the new section to allow it to be slotted in place.

Better if you can remove all sections from one of the sides completely, then fit the new ones to make good.

Good luck.

Well from one side it will till you get to the damaged piece.
