How to change my bathroom floor that is torginol?
My bathroom currently has a torginol flooring that is not the smoothest finish due to lack of expertise of installers. It is base white with beige gold lite brown & gold flecks. Typical of mid 70’s colors as it was laid in 77! I am so tired of this color scheme! I am disabled so I need a change that can be done in stages so I can rest when needed! My bathroom is VERY small & narrow. I would appreciate any advice , especially low priced ideas.
Thx
Bonnie.

Since it's from the 70's, there's a good chance of asbestos so I wouldn't thing of trying to remove it. You can put sheet vinyl directly on top but after a while it will have the bumpy finish show through. The biggest issue with that would be keeping it clean.
You could put down thin, luan plywood and then put either sheet vinyl or peel & stick. If you go peel & stick, I would advise you to use additional glue. For some reason, it tends to come up easily if it gets any moisture at all and since it's a bathroom you have a bigger chance.
You could consider covering it with stick down tiles or you could also paint it! https://www.hometalk.com/diy/paint/yes-you-can-paint-vinyl-linoleum-floor-with-stencils-29134464

Hi there Bonnie. My name is Cindy. When we moved into our current house, the floor in the bathroom was terrible. We decided to put down peel-and-stick tiles as a temporary solution until we could afford better. Our budget was very tight because we just purchased a house. Putting them down was very easy. We put them down right over that ugly old tile. Here we are five years later and that peel-and-stick tile still looks like new. I think you could do the same. Good luck Bonnie.

I think the easiest way for you to change your bathroom floor is with peel and stick tiles. Home Depot and Lowes has a nice selection
You should be able to tile over the floor. You would need to degloss it first. This tutorial should be helpful: https://www.hunker.com/13401302/how-to-lay-tile-over-epoxy-floor
Hi! I pulled up my old self stick tiles, scraped and cleaned up the underlayment, sealed it and put new tiles down for around $100. Pace yourself. I'm older, too! I used a foam kneeler like you use in the garden, to help my knees. Stay safe!
