Hi Eric, 

Thank you for your reply. 

It is stone but not sure what happen cause this damage. Maybe corroded by acid because it is rough and whitish. 

Thank you

Thanks for the extra info, @Linwei.

Whatever caused the damage, it does look like the surface has been etched—possibly by acid or a harsh cleaner—leaving it rough and dull. Unfortunately, there aren’t any fillers that will restore the look or feel of that area to match the surrounding stone.

Your best option would be to speak with a benchtop repair specialist to see whether the surface can be polished or refinished. In some cases, they can buff out the damage or apply a filler and polish it to match the original sheen, but that sort of work usually requires professional tools and experience to get right.
