I've got a couple of scratches and gouges in my wooden floor (believe it's pine) that I need to try to patch up as best I can. I'm getting the flat ready to rent out and so far the floor repair companies have mostly said nothing can be done other than sanding the whole room back and refinishing it, which I really don't think is worth the cost for a rental property. In one case that they could do some spot fixes that wouldn't look as good, but they have a minimum day rate for a call out that's nearly as much as doing the whole room.
So all I really want to do is minimise how obvious the damage is, eg by just staining the offending bits the same colour as the rest of the floor. So looking for any tips on what the best approach would be or what products could be used. A picture of the worst one is attached (approx 3-4 cm across)
Appreciate it's not gonna end up looking good as new or anything, really am just looking for the least worst option!
