Please guide me how to fix this burnt mark on my kitchen benchtop. Thanks
Welcome to the Bunnings Workshop community @NidhiVerma. It's wonderful to have you join us, and many thanks for your question about repairing a benchtop.
I presume this is a manufactured stone benchtop, and the heat has caused a couple of sections to fracture and chip away. It would be best to consider employing the services of a professional if you are looking for an unnoticeable repair. You should easily be able to find someone that can repair this damage as there are services available that specialise in repairing chips in stone and manufactured stone benchtops. Alternatively, you might like to contact the benchtop manufacturer to see if they have any products available for chip repair. Typically this would be a white epoxy-based filler.
The only product that could possibly be used would be PC-11 56g White Epoxy Paste, but I'd only suggest attempting a repair with it after you've exhausted any other options.
Please let me know if you have any questions.

Hi @NidhiVerma,
@MitchellMc will be back online on Friday, in the meantime, please check out this great discussion on how to fix a burnt portion of kitchen laminate where our resident DIY expert @EricL gives a guide to repairing the burnt area by patching. Unfortunately, this method could mean the new laminate may not match up exactly. Let me also tag our wonderful Workshop members @Brad and @diy_hausdesigns to see if they have any further advice.

I apologise, @NidhiVerma; there appeared to be some quite distinctive chips in the surface that made me think it was stone.
There's not a lot that can be done to repair a laminate bench. You could try polishing some of the burn marks out of it and painting the exposed darker spots with white enamel paint, which could help disguise them. If the darkened areas have a depth that needs to be filled, you could use the PC-11 56g White Epoxy Paste. I'd suggest you'll need to add some speckling to the repair to try and hide its presence. A ball-pointed pen or felt-tipped marker could be used for this.
Please let me know if you have any questions.
Mitchell
