ᐅ Is it possible to repair laminate flooring? Can it be replaced with new flooring?

Good day.
I have the following problem.
I noticed damage on my new laminate floor (including impact sound insulation, click system).
It probably happened while moving furniture into the apartment.
In a very visible spot, which will not be covered later by a runner or similar,
I found a hole/crater about 4 mm (0.16 inches) in size. The laminate is practically pierced through here.
Something seems to have fallen onto the laminate or it was stepped on with force...
Of course, this is very frustrating for me.
Can anyone advise me on what options are available?
- Is a repair recommended (using a repair kit with heated wax that is applied)?
- Or is it possible to remove and replace the affected area from the wall to the damage?
(It is about 1 meter (3.3 feet) wide and about 4 meters (13.1 feet) long)
- Or does the entire floor need to be replaced?
What is usually done in such a case?
Thank you

What an effort .... 😕
Best regards, Bauexperte The flooring was installed by my previous landlord, and when I moved out, I was allowed to take it with me (: Back then, I was still in training, so I was grateful for every dollar I could save.
By the way, I still have the flooring today. However, it won’t be coming with me to the new house 😀

I took the laminate flooring from the bedroom with me during my last move and laid it again in the new apartment, and you can’t tell it isn’t new.Regards, Bauexperte
