Hello @Robin2
Welcome to the Bunnings Workshop community. It's a pleasure to have you join us, and thank you for sharing your question about fixing scratches on your hardwood laminated floor.
I suggest trying one of the common methods of repairing this kind of damage using a damp towel and a steam iron. Place the damp towel over the damaged area and place the iron on top and blow some steam into the damaged spot only. It might take several applications so please be patient.
However, if the damage does not rise up you could try filling the dent with wax stixs. You'll have to find a shade that is very close to the finish of your floor. It will hide the smaller dents, but the bigger ones will be difficult to fill. Aside from that, the only other option I can think of is re-surfacing the floor. This means that you'll need to sand the floor and re-coat that spot. It depends on how deep the dents are. I propose sanding down the shallow ones flat and filling the deeper ones with timber filler.
Let me call on our experienced members @TedBear and @JoeAzza for their recommendations.
If you need further assistance, please let us know.

@Robin2 I agree with @EricL solution also, however, this flooring looks like timber flooring (tongue and groove), I can see nails in the timber. Another suggestion is to re sand the floor and recoat it, or a cheaper way is the place a rug over it. If this was a laminated floor, the damaged section can be replaced, the only problem is matching the existing floor.
