Bathroom Tile Separating
My bathroom tile is looking sad. I've been updating my house but funds are getting low. Is there any inexpensive fixes for this. ?
You could try a very fine bead of glue. Make sure you wipe off the excess very well.
Laminate flooring gap repair kits come with all you need to solve the problem. These typically include an aluminum block with a sticky substance on the underside and a rubber mallet.
To fix the gaps in the laminate flooring, place the aluminum block with the sticky side down on the board end and over the gap. Use the rubber mallet to tap the board and close the gap. Move down the line of boards until all of the gaps are closed along that line of laminate planks.
A homemade floor gap fixer can do just as well. You will need a 4 x 4 piece of solid wood and a roll of double-sided sticky tape. Sand the 4 x 4 block with a 150-grit piece of sandpaper to help the tape stick to the piece of lumber.

You can take the board off till where the problem is. Use a rubber mallet and push back into place then put the other boards back on as you did when installing.

UGH, this is such a pain. I am considering adding grout between mine in the bathroom that did that. If you get a good fix, please share.
Just in case the flooring piece itself is delaminating, that means you've water infiltration. Depending on what you bought abd when it was installed, that may be under warranty.
