Repairing a damaged hardwood floor can be done by following these steps:

  1. Clean the damaged area: Remove any debris or dirt from the damaged section of the hardwood floor.
  2. Assess the damage: Determine the extent of the damage, whether it's a scratch, dent, or gouge.
  3. Fill in gaps: For minor scratches or dents, use wood filler to fill in the gaps and allow it to dry completely.
  4. Sand the area: Once the filler is dry, sand the repaired area to make it smooth and even with the rest of the floor.
  5. Stain or finish: Apply stain or finish to match the color of the surrounding hardwood floor.
  6. Seal the repaired area: Finally, apply a clear sealant to protect the repaired area and blend it seamlessly with the rest of the floor.
