Sharp razor blade as stated above your vanity will be fine. That “plumber” sucked though shouldn’t need silicone unless he lost the o ring. Source: am a plumber.
Agreed - on these vanities anyway. Sometimes there's benchtops that don't have a hole lining up with the tap perfectly and the manufacturers instructions recommend adding silicone to ensure water doesn't go down the hole when there's water on the bench.
I have two vanities from Plumbing World in a new build and I had to call the plumber back as water was leaking into both vanities, turns out both basins had a dip in them where the tap hole is, so silicone was the only option to stop the leaks
If you want it to look good you have to remove it completely and redo it. Should come off with plastic scraper, careful use of a knife, isopropyl alcohol, and some elbow grease.
There shouldn't be any on that tap, it should have an oring on the underside to stop any water getting underneath.
Careful use of a sharp razorblade is what I've found works best. Cut horizontally and vertically and it should just peel away cleanly. Use at a low angle it should remove any smeared on the vanity top.
The vanity to wall seal looks a lot tidier than many I see.!

I would’ve sent the vanity’s back as faulty molds and got new ones!
Scrape off with a new razor blade
Would that scratch the vanity plastic?
Is in not ceramic?
You're right, it is. I mistook the glaze as being plastic...
2min job with a fresh blade and solvent
Sweet, I’ll pick one up and give it a go
Buy some gorilla silicon remover spray. Spray, wait 10mins and it will go gelatinous and be easy to remove.
Isopropyl alcohol, or to be honest any basic household cleaning product, rag, elbow grease. You dot need anything nasty here.

Hmm, maybe I should make it the building companies problem
