OP is better off just replacing the laminate flooring.

if theres ANY CHANCE this may occur again replace the laminatewith something much more durable, thats not bothered by water

polished concrete is near indestructible, and fairly cheap. terrazo last forever expensive but just about indestructible

theres ceramic tile that looks like wood. more expensive than laminate, but lasts near forever.

some vinyl tile is extremely durable, and looks good

theres a wide variety of alternatives


I like sheet vinyl linoleum -- no leaking through there -- except when
you roll a chair while sitting on it, it tends to separate the top
layer with the pattern from the layer underneath. Maybe that's less
likely with better quality, and maybe impossible if the pattern goes
all the way through, but they don't sell Congoleum anymore.
