security deposit deduction for damaged quartz counter tops

My lease option tenant decided that the home was not for her and moved out. She left the home in decent shape, normal wear and tear of a family with dog and kids and after a day of cleaning it was ready to go on the market again. The one thing that I cannot fix is the damage of the counter tops which appear to be from a hot pot. It is not easily possible to remove the piece and even if it would come out I doubt I would be able to get the exact same color. I paid about $8000 for the tops - its a large kitchen. Now the questions is how much should I deduct from her security deposit?
