The concern I see is why you did not have a walk through of the home before close of escrow? If you now see damaged kitchen floors, I would place the sellers and their listing agent on notice of this issue as soon as possible and the need to make repairs
If they are unwilling to do so, then your recourse is to make the repairs and bring suit against them in small claims court.
