Do you know whether you have original timber floorboards under your newer laminate floor.

If so, a great way to do it would be to take of the laminate flooring and underlay to expose the floorboards. Then sand the floorboards using a floor sander which you can rent from a local tool hire shop. The floorboards may then be painted using wood floor paint like the stuff Little Greene do.

You can buy good quality laminate flooring in a white tile format, look at the Pergo website, they definately have done white tile laminate flooring in the past, simple-ish to fit with minimum of fuss.
