Workshop plan
Step-by-step instructions
1
Step 1
Confirm the existing floor is dry, intact, and flat enough for a loose-laid mat; do not cover soft, swollen, or moldy flooring.
2
Step 2
Make a paper template around the toilet base, leaving a serviceable gap at the flange and keeping the mat clear of the toilet bolts.
3
Step 3
Transfer the template to the vinyl with the printed side down and cut in small increments using a fresh blade.
4
Step 4
Dry-fit the mat, trim door and vanity clearances, and add a low-profile edge only where it cannot catch a toe.
5
Step 5
Remove the mat periodically to clean and dry the original floor, especially around the toilet base.
Safety check
Do not trap moisture or cover damaged flooring. Keep edges flat and maintain access to the toilet shutoff and flange.
