how do you repair a round burned marks on the Linoleum. I dropped my Tea Kettle on it.

@babykevinxoxo The first thing you need, would be some extra linoleum or flooring and if you don't have that, then it's going to be difficult to fix. The only way I know is to place a small scrap piece of linoleum over the damaged flooring and make sure that the pattern on the scrap piece, lines up with the pattern on the floor and then you can take a sharp utility knife and cut the two pieces of flooring. Remove the damaged piece and then install the new one and you're done.

@gregvancom How much is 1 square feet of Linoleum?

[gregvancom]

@babykevinxoxo I don't know how much it would cost, if that's what you're asking, but 1 square foot would be a square, which had 12 inches on each side.

@gregvancom Its about 1 tile size 6 inchess

@babykevinxoxo If that's all it is, try to remove and replace the damaged piece of linoleum. It sounds like a project you can do, on your own. Simply remove the damaged piece of tile and replace it with a new one.

@maxellmusic I agree with you.

@billman2112 you're exactly right.

[gregvancom]

@billman2112 Maybe he did, but it didn't stick, or moisture got under the flooring, from the gap, behind the toilet. This is why it's important, to maintain, your home and stop damage like this form happening, before it's to late.

He was supposed to apply a bead of caulk around the fitted/cut edges.
