Unfortunately upon moving into our new rented flat we have spilt a small amount of bleach (about the size of a large coin) onto hardwood floor.
Here is a picture:
Is there anything we can do such as re-apply varnish / screen the particular area that the bleach was spilt on and attempt to match the rest of the floor? Or will we need to completely sand it and start again?
Many thanks

I would "brighten" the bleached area with an oxalic acid based cleaner/brightner, frequently the base chemical in deck cleaners. Neutralize with a base, like baking soda. Once dry, try a dye or a pigmented stain. If the color is close, seal it with a similar finish, typically a satin polyurethane.
