Help I have just badly damaged my Bamboo floor

I have just thrown a large automatic airfreshener - aimed at the kitchen, but missed by 6 inches!!!

It was done out of temper and I am not going into the reasons for it as they are not what I need advice on.

There is a very large dent and several deep scratches. Does anyone know if it is easy to repair bamboo or once it is ruined is that it?

Any advice would be great thanks.

    You can buy different colours of wood filler that might help disguise the dent. It won't llok brand new again but it shouldn't draw attention to

    Parhaps some Danish Oil on the scratches will also help shine them up again :o

    I've just recently bought some wood floor filler and heat applicator thingy from eBay to try to cover up some deep scratches in my wood floor. I didn't expect it to be very good tbh but it was great. It was me that covered the scratches up so I know where they are....but I cant even find them now.

    Kit like this....http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Konig-Furniture-Repair-Kit-Hard-Wax-Light-Wood_W0QQitemZ120229388881QQihZ002QQcategoryZ3126QQcmdZViewItemQQ_trksidZp1742.m153.l1262

    If you take your time and do the repair carefully, you do get a good end result.

    Not so sure about the dent, if it's small but deep, then you could possible fill in with several layers of this hard wax stuff too, If it's wide then I have no idea what to suggest sorry.
