you might think about taking a razer knife and straight edge nd cut the old burn out, Use a good putty knife and lift and scrape away the old laminate,,sand all old glue out and may want to put a butcher block or may want to recess it for a tile or two.. You could get your handy router out after blocking it off and rout out a recess to fit in a cupole tiles and a little grout ..your all set with a new look.
