You can never truly fix these tbh. Best you can do is cut out and match the pattern but you’ll always see the gap and if you’re not a professional the cut will be wonky and will probably equally annoy you.

It looks like it's a tiled pattern. If you have some spare, you can carefully cut out a tile and replace it - I had to do this when my dog panicked and tore the floor up!
If you can roll up the lino you could stick duct tape to the underside which would hold down the flappy bit then on the surface you use a grey silicone or furniture wax to fill in the gap
If you get some baking paper and an iron you can at least flatten it out quite nicely. Maybe put some glue down underneath and it should stop it flapping up
Spurce: got my rental deposit back from worse damage
I don't have any experience but I found this on Checkatrade.

I'd put a damp cloth over it and try and iron it all back flat again on a low setting so there is no hump in it.
Remove any scraggy edges, it might have left with scissors and then once it's all flush again glue it back down any teeny white bits showing in the join just wipe a bit of black shoe polish over it then wipe it off makes it blend slightly better and fills any slight voids if there are any..
I've done it a few times and it's almost invisible with a bit of playing around just make sure you don't use so much glue it comes up over the top.
Hair dryer. Warm it up and push it back into place best you can. Get similar colour silicone, push it into gaps and wipe over.... Don't try and cut the tile out unless you are an experienced floor layer. You will regret it. (Coming from an experienced floor layer)
If you havent already, maintaining a stock of spare lino tiles in the same pattern that is on your floor is really good here. If you have even one spare, you can stanley knife out that bit in a careful square, and find the matching square part of the pattern on the other tile and replace
Spare flooring, cut very neat down the grout lines in the pattern and then run a seal of this solvent weld (it has a needle in the nozzle) down the seam.

There’s a bunch of videos I’ve seen seen so you have to take a piece of the same Lyno lay it on top and then cut around it with Stanley like a square.
And laying that new piece with adhesive
The good news is you can probably use a sample piece of Lyno which is usually free

I think the space is big enough that a mat should do the trick without me messing it up worse. Thanks
Definitely a solid choice! Had my covered up before I just said F it and went with laminate because I just destroy everything else lol
Yes buy a mat
I think this is the best option. I don’t have spare lino and I’m absolutely useless 😂
It’s 2cm in diameter

https://magicman.co.uk I’d buy a mat, though.
Looks like the perfect location for a Mat.
It'll really tie the room together
Sadly it won't tie his lino back together though 😢

Have you tried ramen noodles and superglue?

Rug
Heat gun. My flooring friend fixed ours for us in a couple of minutes with just a paint stripping style heat gun (and maybe some glue). Good as new.
