If this is a sheet vinyl floor, I would buy a cement especially designed for vinyl flooring. If the areas are small, use a seam sealer product. It also helps to heat the floor using a hair dryer to allow the old adhesive to soften and re-adhere to the floor. If you have bubbles in the floor, you can use a sewing needle and a hammer to make small holes in the vinyl to allow trapped air to escape, and then you can inject adhesive under the vinyl with a needle syringe. Also, place heavy objects, like books, over the newly applied adhesive areas. But, unfortunately, you are most likely fighting a losing battle. It sounds like you may want to consider new flooring, but not sheet vinyl.
