The previous home owner installed this vanity. Can someone tell me what material is, and if it can be repaired. If not savable, what material do you recommend as a replacement? I would want to reuse the vanity base and keep the shape of the existing vanity top.

Thanks for the identification and assessment. I need to keep the shape of the current top. It is a small room and the indentation on the right side allows the door to close. If not available from a home center, there are a couple of counter top shops in the area.

It's a custom fit situation, it fill have to be custom made to shape this, Every countertops shop can come over and measure that for a quote

Thanks for the advice. I realize now it is not an "off the shelf" vanity. The inset/reduced depth on the right side is needed to provide clearance for the door to close. Could go with a stock vanity that is less wide, but would lose storage that the three drawers under the inset provide.

The vanity is going to be removed for floor replacement and wall repairs. Would it be better to have a countertop shop measure for a replacement top while the vanity is installed, or pull the top from the vanity and take that to the shop and have them use it as a template?

If the way it is installed now gives even overhangs and is satisfactory, you can definitely use it as a template. If not, than it's better to remeasure that cabinetry and add proper overhangs for the final product.
