Yes.You first need to "screen" it. Just mean a very light sanding to remove the top film and roughen up the service to give the new layer something to bite into. We do this in houses all the time. 4 or 5 years after we do someones floors, we will come out and screen the floors and put on just one coat.

Remove the laminate floor first
Wood flooring is a popular choice for today’s homeowners because it is easy to care for and looks great in just about any room. Yet the high cost of solid wood makes wood flooring prohibitively expensive for many people. That is why laminate floors that mimic the look of real wood are so popular. Laminate flooring is made of several different layers of paper and covered with a protective outer layer that looks just like a plank of wood. Though they are durable, this construction requires that homeowners take good care of their laminate floors lest they become damage beyond repair. Here is a simple guide for maintaining laminate flooring in the home or office.First, never use a wet mop to clean laminate. Laminate floors will absorb water if too much is applied, and the portion of a floor that absorbs water will be ruined. Simple sweeping and mopping with only a mop head that is slightly damp will prevent any problems from occurring.Second, make sure to clean up immediately any liquids spilt upon a laminate floor. Such liquids can seep in and warp or swell the laminate planks.Third, never drag furniture across a laminate floor. The legs of a table or chairs can scrape at the laminate, removing its protective outer layer and even scratching the floor. Wood floors can be sanded to remove scratches, but laminate floors cannot be fixed in this way.Fourth, protect laminate floors from accidental dragging of furniture through the use of felt furniture pads that are attached to the bottom of the furniture legs. These pads have a sticky back, which attaches them to the furniture in question, and a felt bottom that cushions the floor and protects it from the legs of table, chairs, and other furniture.Finally, use area rugs in high traffic areas. Dirt and other substances tracked onto laminate floors can end up scratching the laminate in the long run. Having area rugs or protective mats will prevent much of these scratching agents from getting onto the floor. Also, making people take off their shoes before entering the house can keep these scratchy substances at bay.

ScratchesScratches in laminate floors can often be filled in with a little bit of wood putty that is similar in color to the floor. Use a putty knife to fill in the cracks, and then clean the area with a dry cloth to remove any residue. You should put some type of seal over the wood putty to protect the repair; clear nail polish can be an excellent solution if the scratch on your laminate floors is small.Another option is to check with the manufacturer to find out if they sell scratch repair pencils. This pencil is made of a waxy substance that is color matched to your specific floor. You "color" over the area in your laminate flooring that has the scratch and small bits of the pencil fill in the scratch. Consider purchasing one of these pencils if available when purchasing your laminate floors to take care of any scratches as they appear.
