How to repair burnt laminated benchtop?

[alex23]

The laminated kitchen benchtop has partly burnt as a result of placing a hot pan onto it.

 Could you please provide any suggestion on how to repair it to make its original appearance.

Thank you.

Hi @alex23,

Welcome to the Bunnings Workshop community and many thanks for your question.

I would start by gently trying to remove the discolouration using Scotch-Brite 155 x 100mm Heavy Duty Scourer Pads and dishwashing liquid such as Morning Fresh Lemon Dishwashing Liquid. Once you see that this is no longer having any effect on the discolouration, you might like to use Flexovit 100mm x 1m 400 Grit Wet And Dry Sandpaper in the same manner. Be careful not to rub too hard, you are simply trying to remove the discolouration, not the actual laminate coating. 

Once you have removed as much of the discolouration as possible you can fill the areas where the laminate has burnt through with PC-11 56g White Epoxy Paste, which can then be sanded to a suitable finish and painted if required.
