My bathroom door is a solid fire door with an oak-effect laminate finish. Because of bathroom steam over the past 10+ years, the laminate at the very bottom edge (inside bathroom side) has started lifting and feathering very slightly.

I’ve recently laid new flooring which has raised the finished floor height, so I need to plane quite a bit off the bottom of the door anyway, which should remove the damaged part.

Once I’ve trimmed it, I’m wondering what the best way is to stop the bottom edge from getting damaged again from steam and moisture in the future.

Any recommendations of what I can do to protect the bottom of the door after trimming it? Strangely the top of the door hasn't had this issue, wondering why it only happened to the bottom.

Thank you
 
Probably happened at the bottom due to hot moist air conensing on colder surface at the bottom. Just smear some silicon over the cut edge and allow to dry before re-hanging the door
