Moving out in 3 days and floor is damaged

Hi everyone,
wwyd we are moving out in 3 days. Clearing out the last of our stuff and lifted the rugs at the back and front door. The laminate is warped and damaged at the back door. We have a full box of the laminate left over. Should we try and repair it? I’m worried we make it worse as not the best at diy or should we leave it as is? We had no idea the floor was like this under the rug, looks like with the recent snow/rain that the water has sunk through and been trapped under the mat. I doubt we would manage to get a tradesman to come and fix it this late in the day 😭 Anxiety levels are at a high just now with the move and this has just made me break down. I know it’s not the end of the world but I wanted to leave the property spotless for the new owners. We have loved living here and I hope the same for them.

If you aren't confident doing it yourself I'd leave it. Leave the box of flooring for the new owners to sort it

Thanks @watchingpullimgepisode6 I’m not confident and worry that we make it worse than what it is. Feel like the stuff is there for it to be fixed but I would hate for them to feel upset when they see it. I’ve put a few messages out to tradesmen to see if we have any luck. It would probably take them max of an hour hoping we get lucky.
