How are these usually attached to the wall? Can I just pry them off or would that damage the drywall?

And follow up questions: how can I reproduce that texture when painting the newly exposed areas of the wall?

    Thank you for the detailed response. So for that raised lip I should expect nothing but caulking on the edges holding it to the wall?

      May have been glued to the wall as well. I would expect to have to repair the drywall. For the texture, they have spray on texture in a can that they say replicates the existing look. I would not expect to get it perfect. It will probably look different no matter how hard you try.

      It’s probably just construction adhesive holding that part to the wall. So you can try prying that off first but sometimes they attach it with something else to the top (besides just caulk).

      No it’s likely glued to wall. It can and will rip the drywall. If you get a large thin scraper you can try to push it between the wall and splash guard. (Like a 12" taping knife)

      And matching the texture will be very hard. It looks like some type of knockdown or medium orange peel. It’s possible the texture is in drywall and was done before vanity installed.
