Bathroom floor - vinyl over vinyl?

[Account Closed]

I'm about to turn over a two bedroom apartment ( in a 5 unit ). We are having the carpet replaced. The kitchen flooring, one-sheet vinyl is in good shape and so is the bathroom...sort of :-) 

A previous tenant ( before we took over ) had used some sort of bathmat that stained the vinyl right by the tub. The stain is blue in color. I just can't get it out and it bugs me. 

It bugs me enough that I want to see if I can put new vinyl over top of it for cometic reasons, but it doesn't bother me enough to have a professional do it as it actually costs more per sq. ft. to install than the carpeting. 

I've never installed vinyl so that makes me nervous. But I just hate seeing that stain! 

Any ideas? What about tile vinyl? That might be easier for me to install but not sure about longevity.

well, I don't have the budget right now to do ceramic in the bath and kitchen. ( I think it would look too mis-matchy to do one but not the other? ) I have another major repair/reno that needs to happen this summer that involve new windows and sliding glass doors for about 5 units. So, I am trying to save some money right now, but would not be against doing ceramic down the road. 

Marcia Maynard - I have not tried the eraser pen! I will give that a shot.

You say the flooring is sheet vinyl?  Depending on how old and what type, you may be able to scrub/buff the stain out.  Older, commercial type vinyl is solid all the way through.  You should definitely try a magic eraser.  You can even use Bon Ami or Barkeeper's Friend.  However, test an area (like behind the toilet first), as those all are all abrasives and will change the texture and finish on your floor.

You say the stain is blue.  Is there any chance it's not a stain from the mat from above but moisture/mildew coming from the subfloor? Especially since you say it's right in front of the tub.
