Mend Fleetwood Colchester Repair Bought Front

How can we repair our caravan floor?

It's a Fleetwood Colchester which we bought preused and it looks like it has had floor delamination repair done in front of the sink/cooker. This section of the floor is higher than the rest, it has 'bowed'. Can we cut out the raised section of the floor and replace it and if so, how do we do it, how do we fasten down the new flooring?
Any help would be very much appreciated

Drilling holes into an already cured area of epoxy repair & injecting more will be of no use at all! (see above suggestion). If the area is solid I would leave alone even if its slightly raised. It could be the stongest part of the whole floor!

If the floor has "bowed" there is very little you can do, this has been caused by excessive repair epoxy being injected and the floor not being weighted down correctly during cure , the only possibility is this area being cut out but this would have to be done by a specialist and is not easy, if it,s not excessive leave well alone
