If a few inches of the laminate strip or edging is pulled loose but the majority of it is intact, it doesn't need to be replaced. It's usually possible to glue the strip back on with aerosol trim cement. This type of cement is sticky and bonds on contact. It's as simple as cleaning the old glue and dirt from under the strip, spraying the cement under it and pressing it back into place. For added security, use masking tape to maintain pressure to the repaired area. The glue bonds instantly but it's best to leave the tape on overnight. If the glue oozed out, it can be scraped off the next day with a putty knife.
