In a panic today my wife accidentally left a hot saucepan on the laminate kitchen worktop, leaving a discolored halo mark in the mottled dark grey finish!! Anyone got any hints on what could help decrease its prominence or remove it completely. Help.. thanks

i could be wrong 
but i think your looking at a cutting board to disguise it
you may be able to slightly reduce the discolouration by using an abrasive polish but i doubt you will have any luck
you will have to wait for someone with a miricle solution to come allong
how bad or deep is the dammage!!!!!!!
have you got a picture!!!!

The shape is a circular ring shape, fainter on one side thah the other. Its lightened in the ring area. Tried cleaners etc so far but to no avail. Any other ideas.
options i know off
cover with chopping board or other decorative feature
route out out affected area insert flush heat proof glass chopping board or
raised beech block or
flush beech or other cutting block with the space undrrneath open into a sutable container for your waste[lift the block up tip waste into opening
replace part or whole worktop length
patch replacement not an option in my humble oppinion as the oblong joint will stick out like a sore thumb
not much use i know sorry

what type of finish does your worktop have ?
If its the mottled type lacquer finish (textured touch) then theres not much you can do.
If its the smooth finish then you could try a high grade wet n dry to remove some of the tarnish.
Failing that cut away the offending area with a sharp knife, tape the area off so the surrounding area so the damaged area is visible and worktop covered then fill with a fine filler, car body perhaps, when dry sand it back taking care not to sand the worktop then apply colours, you may have to source the paints from a model shop say, try and get the best match.
Failing that its cutting boards or new worktops im afraid
