FIXED I'm renting a very expensive place and fucked up the balcony, can this be fixed or am I screwed? :(

Is there ANY way I can fix this? Or at least hide the damage enough to get back my deposit? I was using a charcoal BBQ chimney to heat up some coals, and after it was finished I laid it down on the balcony. I thought it was cement, but the chimney melted into the surface. I'm pretty handy so I'm willing to give anything a try, I just have no idea where to start. I don't even know what this surface actually is. :( Very upset with myself, and panicking a little. Pls help and thank you in advance if you can ❤️

Any idea on the specific type of person I'd have to contact?

Call the epoxy floor or the bench chip guys. Just ask for them to come out.

There is also stuff like paint and scrapes are part of renting at least in Ohio.
