    If its burned into the laminate and to the veneer then you can't get rid i'm afraid. in my own experience

    Not sure where you'd pick it up but likely in B&Q/Woodies etc. It's a repair kit for laminate floors involving a number of colours and a filler to fill the scratch/gouge or in this case ... burn.

    Not sure of the instructions but in all likelyhood You'd need to sand damage down flush with the floor. Use a narrow strip of fine sandpaper folded around the tip of a screwdriver so you can limit sanding to just the damaged area. Play around with the colours/filler to get a close match and (probably) apply with a fine paintbrush. If there's a pattern you can probably paint something similar onto the filler using the range of colours

    My sis has made quite noticeable scratches practically invisible this way.
