I've put a hot griddle pan (yes, I know!) down on the kitchen worktop

worktop is a one of Formica's finest textured in black and grey.

Anyone able to advise on a repair other than 'replace it all'. I don't
have an angle grinder, but I do have a couple of cans of WD40...

Management has stayed calm. So far.

Management is still calm and considering a complete replacement.

In granite. 'Medium grey', whatever that may be.

Anyone any thoughts? Can it stain? Any particular 'type' to avoid or to
go for? I've no relevant experience...

I did notice that ALDI had black granite pan rests on sale yesterday.

As an interim quick fix you might want to get one.

When we got a new kitchen fitted a few years back after just a couple of
weeks son put a hot pan on it and blistered a small patch no bigger than
say square inch. Once my temper calmed I took time to smooth with wet &
dry and then used a black marker pen, maybe had to redo a couple of
times a year (pen) lasted 10 years until we sold the house.
You may need to use a couple of different coloured markers say black and
gray to give a better effect.
The problem with damage like this is you can camouflage quite well and
hide it from the casual onlooker but you still know its there.
Not once did anyone notice it on my worktop in 10 years but every
morning I made a coffee my eye was drawn to it. F...ing son :-)
