An area of my laminate flooring is deflecting and bouncy.

Besides glue injector kits such as Fix-A-Floor and Floor-Fix Pro

are there any other efficient and reliable ways to fix this laminate flooring defect in 2025?
 
It's usually caused by expansion. The laminate expands, and no expansion gap, or a not large enough gap has been allowed.

Oh we definitely allowed for expansion. The laminate has been down for years and trouble free.

However, one plank dips when stepped on. Guess we did not sufficiently level the floor in this area.

Any modern solutions?
 
Something going on underneath. Uplift and check.
Thanks. Would love to, but far too much work mate.

Remove skirting, remove loads of laminate and underlay.. Some will inevitably get damaged and I don't have enough spare planks. Not to mention the time reinstating and decorating

Will start off with 'Fix-A-Floor' and see how I get on.

Guess there have been no other advances in laminate repair.
