Sand it and Polish it back you can get the Polish at home depo
You can do 2 things,. you can take out the 2pcs that are damaged, and just replace or you can sand, fill w/wood filler, sand again, and re-stain
It Comes Down To Dollars And Senseā¦ If You Got The Dollars And Can Afford To Tear Up The Existing a floor And Replace It With New Then By All Means Go Ahead. However If The Dollars Arenāt There I Would Buy A Nice Area Rug And Call It A Day.Covering The Area With Stain Wonāt Suffice Either .

If you have any left over pieces of the floor, just the one damaged piece can be cut out and replaced - is the floor dented or is just the finish just chipped?
There many products that can be used to match that floor. I would think that with the right color stain you could easily sand that our and re finish it. I think replacing the floor is a little extreme.
Lightly sand edges of spot.
Touch up with mixed stain or touch up stick.
Continue to refine touch up in small areas
with alternating color maybe darker shade
In order to blend. This can be achieved by
using small paintbrush or Q tip
You can now finish with urethane
or clear nail polish only if original is glossy
Easy fix, just sand damaged area with 400 grit paper, wipe clean and refinish with same finish. After 24-48 hours sand smooth and repeat until you have a match.
I see the damage on your hardwood. I am wondering if your hardwood is pre-finished product? If so then the flooring expert can remove that piece and install a new one, of course would require a few extra pieces of your hardwood. Otherwise the right procedure is to sand down the area, not only the damaged one, may be a bigger area and apply stain match color.
Claire:
if you have any left over wood, use a multi tool to cut out the bad section, remove the toungue and lay in the new piece. face nail it, wood fill.
The most efficient way would be a touch up stain pen to match existing stain. If more options desired it should be replaced.
If you have extra of the floor or still can buy it. You should be able to just replace that bad piece or section of it. Also depends how it was install.
If it is a solid hard wood floor, grab a belt sander and a orbital sander and sand out the imperfections. Restain and seal. What you got to loseā¦
Greetings, Buildzoom asked me to look at this and Iām glad they did. I have a custom woodshop that builds and restores custom cabinets, doors, floors and pretty much anything wood from furniture to reclaimed wood products such as flooring and other coverings and we perform our own finishing so we also repair dings like this.
Anyway, I have a guy that does this in my shop and I would find it hard to believe that you wouldnāt have one at some shop in your area too. We use a series of hot melt waxes and dyes to correct that and no, you donāt need to replace your floor. You just need to repair that spot to prevent further damage. If you donāt repair it soon it can lead to more problems which could result in replacement. So my advice would be call Mohawk Flooring and ask who their local retailers are in the area so that you may purchase their repair and finish products. I donāt recomend purchasing anything however, you wont recover your investment in the kit, but you can call that retailer and ask them who their best finishing customers are and they will be more than happy to send you to someone that can help.
Good luck and remember, do it soonā¦
Just sanding and trying to match stain will work but not match exactly. You could sand and stain to a close match pull that board. Now find a spot in tje house you can pull another board that isnt as visable such as under the couch or kitchen table then swap them out the nicer of the 2 will be in the high visability area and the damaged repaired board will be in a less visible area.
im gonna go out on a limb here, but im gonna guess that if this is from a dropped hookah coal, then you are also the type of person who is looking for whatever is gonna be the cheapest easiest way to fix it. LOL, i remember those days 
i recommemnd a few options that are listed here already
- easiest - use a touch up marker
- moderate - sand and restain
- hard - replace floor board
good luck
I would suggest contacting a furniture finisher. There are many listed on the web and I have seen several at work in the Houston area to repair dents and scratches, etc. on office and home furniture. Iām reasonably sure repairing flooring would be the same. Call a good furniture store if you have trouble finding a repairman.

The spots donāt look that bad that you have to replace the whole board. Each spot can be lightly sanded, stained and polyurethane. All of the materials can be bought at Home Depot or Loweās.
If you have any extra flooring ,the best fix would be to just replace the damaged plankā¦this is not that hard .make two parrellel cuts a couple inches away from each other down the center of the plank making sure to not hit the surrounding flooring .With a sharp chisel or your skill saw make two cuts perpendicular to your parrellel cuts ,connecting the two parrellel cuts and remove the center of the damaged plank out.Now you have access to both the tongue and grove sideā¦I usually just bury my chisel in the left over pieces hitting it with my hammer at an angle to get it away fro the neighboring flooring being careful to not damage the tongue and groove of the surrounding flooring .Once out check the moisture barrier (usually craft or tar paper) for damage from the saw ,if cut just put a little piece there.find the new plank that will fit and with your table saw rip the lower half of the groove side off ,allowing you to slide the tongue in the groove and set the flooring in its new spot.Assuming you have a wood sub floor ,face nail the new plank ,nail putty and stain the nail holes ā¦When a depression happens to your wood floor,one trick is to (as soon as possible)get a drop or two of water and drip it on to the dent on the floorā¦this will make the floor swell just enough to pop the dent out to its original stateā¦If this seems like to much,(and really,it sounds harder than it isā¦probably takes ten minutes if that!)ā¦your other option is to sand down the plank at the damaged spot and TRYā¦and I say TRY to find a stain that is similarā¦very hard to match an existing floor color and will most likely see the differenceā¦
It looks to me that it would be easier to just replace that board rather than trying to sand and stain ,because then you would also have to match the finish and sheen
Cut out the damaged peace and replace it, itās hard to do but can be done, but you will have to face nail the new peace, or what Iāve also done before is color it with a marker that is a close match. to sand it down and try to match will be almost impossible
