Project overview
The goal, materials, and finished scope.
In August 2026, Floors Now completed a localized sheet-vinyl repair in a Bristol kitchen. Floors Now had installed the original glued Mannington floor about two years earlier. The floor sustained three large tears and multiple divots when the refrigerator was moved during electrical work; Floors Now performed no appliance moving or electrical work for this repair. Because all of the damage fell within one tile-shaped repeat of the printed design, the technician could precisely remove that complete printed section. The sound subfloor required no repair. Using matching sheet vinyl the homeowner had saved from the original installation, Floors Now fitted the replacement with new adhesive and seam sealer. The approximately two-hour repair was selected as the simplest, lowest-cost alternative to replacing the full floor. On this project, the completed repair left the prior damage no longer visible, and the homeowner confirmed satisfaction. The exact Mannington collection and color were not documented, and this outcome does not imply that every sheet-vinyl repair can produce the same match.

Scope of work
All damage fit inside one tile-shaped repeat, allowing a precise localized replacement with retained matching material.
- Documented three large tears and multiple divots that occurred when the refrigerator was moved during electrical work
- Confirmed that Floors Now performed no appliance moving or electrical work for this repair
- Reviewed the existing glued Mannington sheet vinyl, which Floors Now had originally installed about two years earlier
- Confirmed the subfloor remained sound and required no repair
- Used matching Mannington sheet vinyl that the homeowner had saved from the original installation; the exact collection and color were not documented
- Precisely removed the complete tile-shaped printed section containing all of the damage
- Installed the matching replacement section with new adhesive and seam sealer
- Completed the localized repair in approximately two hours and reviewed the finished result with the satisfied homeowner
