The Samlesbury is the largest single bowl sink in Whitebirk's Classic Collection: 795mm wide and 254mm high, with soft rounded corners. If you wash roasting trays, stock pots or oven racks, this is the sink with room for them, and it suits an 800mm base unit.

At a glance

Will it fit?

The Samlesbury measures 795 x 460 x 254mm (width x depth x height) and weighs about 63kg. Every Whitebirk sink is handmade and kiln-fired, so sizes can vary by up to 2% either way. Have your fitter measure the actual sink before cutting worktops or cabinets. As an apron-front sink it suits an 800mm base unit, and at this weight the cabinet must be reinforced or the sink supported on a frame.

Caring for your sink

Clean with warm water, a mild washing-up liquid and a soft cloth, then rinse and wipe dry. Avoid abrasive pads, steel wool and harsh chemicals, and don't put very hot pans straight into the bowl. Whitebirk recommend Astonish Oven & Cookware cleaner for marks left by metal pans.

Frequently asked questions

What size base unit does the Samlesbury need?

At 795mm wide, the Samlesbury suits an 800mm base unit. Handmade fireclay can vary by up to 2%, so your fitter should measure the sink itself before cutting the cabinet or worktop.

How heavy is the Samlesbury?

About 63kg. At this weight the base unit needs reinforcing, or the sink should sit on a support frame. Whitebirk recommend professional installation.

Which waste do I need?

The Samlesbury has 1 x 3.5 inch outlet, so it takes one 3.5 inch basket strainer, standard or premium lever, or a waste disposal unit. The strainer comes with an overflow kit for the sink's overflow.

Can I undermount or inset it instead?

Yes. Whitebirk say any of their kitchen sinks can be inset or undermounted with a support cradle underneath. The Understone Collection is designed specifically for inset and undermount fitting.

Who makes Whitebirk sinks?

Whitebirk Sink Company, a division of Darwen Terracotta Limited. Every sink is handmade and kiln-fired at their factory in Blackburn, Lancashire, and carries a lifetime warranty.
