Some builder grade vanity tops in my area are set with a bead of caulk
along the base top. If they have; as most do, a built in/molded back
splash a few dabs of mastic behind the back splash. A razor knife and
small wonder bar get them off easily.
These tops are poured/molded with what I guess to be plaster paris (?)
but are very durable.

These look like a faux Corian and the sink and top are all one piece.

I have seen small scratches, but no broken ones.
