I have placed a hot pot on this surface and left a ring burn. Then I have seen what a kitchen scourer could do to reduce the mark. In the process I have ground off the gloss surface. I didn't realise what I was doing at the time because the scourer was wet.
We didn't install the bench it but I think it is probably this or similar: https://www.ikea.com/au/en/p/vrena-worktop-oak-veneer-20510821/
and ikea's suggested maintenance product is https://www.ikea.com/au/en/search/?q=STOCKARYD
So I think now I've made this much of a mess I could keep going and try a light sand to see if I can reduce the burn mark, then apply the ikea oil to restore the sheen and waterproofing.
Or perhaps a tradie of some kind (?) could do a professional fix?
Advice and guidance appreciated!
Hello @daven25
It was a good try, but I'm afraid the burn mark is too deep it will need to be sanded down to remove the damage. I propose engaging the services a professional trades person to sand the table back to timber and reapply a new sealer over the timber benchtop. Please note that it will not be the same finish as the original benchtop, but it will be a fresh new uniform finish. I suggest using Cabot's Benchtop Clear as a new sealer for your benchtop.
However, if you wish to stain the benchtop to a darker finish there is also the Monocel and Timber Protect products.

Hi @daven25
You're looking for a professional painter. You can also post the job on Hipages and Airtasker. I suggest explaining the job that's on offer with as much detail as possible and include the pictures. Hopefully you'll get a quick response. Remember to ask for references so that you can see what they did in the past.
