Remove resin fire surround

Posts: 13 Forumite
Just moved into a new house with a gas fire. It's an old tenement and a bit of a Fixer-upper.
The stone on the fire place seems decent but the fire surround is a really cheap looking stone effect resin we think.
Does anyone know what our chances are of removing it ourselves without destroying the wall or stone behind? (fully expecting to have to touch up the plaster once it's off)
Added pics to help
And how might we do that? Or how much it might cost if its not possible as a DIY job?
Thanks!
