How can I fix burn mark on laminate benchtop?

Question

Hello, I need advise on if this burnt mark on the kitchen slab can be fixed without having to change the whole kitchen top. It was caused by a hot tong. The laminated part has burnt off and the attached pictures show the condition it is in right now. Hoping to find a solution to fix it. Thanks!

Welcome to the Bunnings Workshop community @mona1098. It's terrific to have you join us, and many thanks for your question about repairing a burn on laminate.

Unfortunately, there likely isn't any way of repairing the damage that has been done. You could try using a scourer to remove the scorch mark. If you were able to use sandpaper to abraid any high spots, then you might be able to spot-paint the area. In all likelihood, painting the benchtop with the Dulux Renovation range would probably be one of the only options.
