Around the bathtub and around the door, seem to be the main areas. How can I repair this?

first make sure the floor is clean and dry be sure to scrape of any old adhesive then heat the peeling areas with a hairdryer to make it more flexible. Apply your adhesive ,available at almost any hardware store or department, to the floor and firmly press the flooring back down make sure to apply pressure toward the edges to remove any air pockets then apply some weight to the areas and allow to dry. if it's a tight trim you can staple on the very edge and then apply a good bead of silicon ,this will help to hold the floor and more importantly seal the edge against any moisture and if you staple close enough it will cover them. If this is occurring along the walls and you don't have quarter round installed already it would be a good time to do so.

Obviously you have had some water in that area to make it curl.. If the problem has stopped, then get some vinyl tile glue at Home Depot or Lowe's... apply it and then put something heavy on it to keep it down while it dries... I had that problem one time and I used a 2" by 4" board.. put it down on a row and put heavy things on each end and a couple of places towards the center until the glue dried.

clean well, reglue & press it down well. put heavy wieghts such as books on it to hold it down until dry then use silicone where the vinyl meets the tub to seal it . clean, reglue & put a wider threshold in the doorway. for the tub--if all else fails, buy some quarter round from the lumberstore & nail it into the floor, fill in the holes with plastic wood ,prime & paint then use silicone on the top & bottom when the paint is dry

You can glue it, tack it down with a few small nails (concrete nails like for carpet) and use a metal strip in the threshold.
Use some glue type baseboard around the tub.
Our liniolum was coming up around the tub and the landlords fixed it with nails....it looks horrible. Nice rental, eh?

You can go to Wal-Mart or Lowes, Home depot and buy the glue they(professionals) use to glue it down with and then set some heavy object on it till it drys.
