Depends on the finish that must be repaired but it is not something most people can do on their own. The tannin in the tea leaves has leeched into the finsh and possibly the wood beneath. A professional furniture repair tech can usually repair it or mask it well enough to pass unless you know where to look and what to look for. Sometimes the top needs to be refinished because the damage has gone too deep. Costs will vary with type of finish, the damage, how deep, your city and if can be repaired or must have top redone. Repair can cost anywhere from $125 - $200, refinish of top can be $255-$340 for average desk. If this is just a white painted desk, lightly sand the top with 220, use spray can of kilz stain blocker to mist over the stain. Then use white spray can paint and repaint top of desk. If you don't seal and block the pink stain first it will bleed through the new paint. Do in well ventilated area with no open flame. If in garage or basement and you have a heater or something, put out the pilot light! Make sure you have air flowing in and out. Guess you can tell what I do for a living. :-)
