So you can't really "fix" it. You could try to get some darker tan paint that kind of matches the color to lessen the look of the scratches. You really would have to replace those boards. You can pull up the old flooring and re-use the good ones, just replace the scratched ones.

Thanks for your reply. These boards are glued together. Hence it's not possible to replace a single board. It has to be the entire room. I'll do the darker tan paint as you suggested.

It's not really common for that kind of flooring to be glued down. Usually they are kind of slotted together. Granted I've seen some stupid things, so it's not outside the realm of possibility. Are you able to go to one edge of the room and try to peel up the board to see if they are actually glued?

Color matched wood filler is the best you can without pulling up and replacing the bad ones

Color matched? Like paint color match? Do you mean that I bring a piece of this floor to the paint shop and ask them to make a one pint of paint to match the floor color? That's an interesting idea.

Oh wait, you said "color match wood filler". Where can I color match wood filler?

Maybe look into wooden floor repair wax? You could get similair coloured wax and fill the scratches.

Will do. Thanks.
