Here's Apple's official statement regarding water resistance:

About splash, water, and dust resistance of iPhone 7 and later - Apple Support

Unfortunately you will most likely need to pay for an out-of-warranty replacement unless you can live with the mark.

"Waterproof" and "Water-Resistant" are 2 completely different things.

Use this as a general rule, even if the phone is "advertised" as being the above two things:

It's not either waterproof or water resistant.

Take it into an Apple store for evaluation. The iPhone 8 is water resistant, not waterproof. They will advise the best options open to you.
