Laminate is the most common type that can burn that I can think of (well, except wood, but that's easy, sand it). I'm not sure with laminate but no matter what type of countertop you could Google it. Also, YouTube has a zillion videos on just about everything. I put "How to repair burnt laminate countertop" in YouTube's search box and I can't count how many tutorials came up! Just replace laminate with whatever type counter you have. Good luck!
If it was mine, I would cover it with inexpensive quartz, granite, or marble over lay. They make it now for counter tops that is much thinner (and much easier on the wallet) to lay over the present counter top. If the burn is only cosmetic and not deep, this would work. Another choice would be to cover it with tiles. Just a couple ideas, hope this helps.
Some suggestions: based on location of the burn you could possibly cut out the affected area and install an inset cutting board. That’s an ambitious project I think but I’ve seen countertops that did have cutting boards installed presumably not because there was a burn but as part of the original design. You can resurface the countertop without removing the sink and it can be done in a weekend. Go to Daich Coatings website and check out their Spreadstone kits. I’ve used that and it really does look a lot nicer than Formica, has no seams when done, and has no less heat/chemical resistance than Formica either. Third option is epoxy. Go to StoneCoatCountertops.com. They have some great training videos, recipes with directions, and what they don’t sell they’ll link you to. They also provide project support. The epoxy isn’t as cheap as some other brands but I have compared a few and theirs does have a longer working time and is more heat resistant than the marine grade epoxy I used.
the first pic is Spreadstone on a Formica countertop (applied 4 years ago) and a peel and stick fake tile backsplash that I just cut with scissors and literally completed in a few hours.
The second pic is a table that I refinished using StoneCoat epoxy and one of their recipes. The epoxy surface has way more depth so I plan to resurface my countertop using StoneCoat epoxy. The sink will have to be removed and the epoxy sufficiently cured to reinstall. StoneCoat is more heat resistant than Spreadstone and also some other epoxies.
I have a damaged area on my formica eating bar. I had a burned spot and tried to cut it out and patch it, but that was a mistake. Short of replacing my entire kitch...
