You can replace the laminate if it’s the kind that is glue down. Another option is paint with a kit like Giani or RustOleum.
Here is how I did mine using Giani. Mine were not formica but it can be used on formica.
You could try laying tile over the laminate like I did: https://www.craftylittlegnome.com/tile-over-laminate-counters/
There are kits available to refinish counters. I haven't personally done mine - they need it though! - but know several people who were happy with the Rustoleum Countertop Transformations kits.
Giani has been on mine for 4 years and is holding up well. Was easy to do and no strong paint odor. Love the fact can touch up areas when someone uses a knife to cut on counter. You can't see the touch up.
