Whitebirk Sink Company Mellor Farmhouse Kitchen Sink 595 x 465 x 230mm

Elevate your kitchen with the Whitebirk Sink Company Mellor Farmhouse Kitchen Sink, a beautifully crafted single bowl apron front sink from the Whitebirk Classic Collection that brings a clean, contemporary take on the traditional farmhouse sink to modern and classic kitchen designs alike. At 595 x 465 x 230mm and weighing 42kg, the Mellor is defined by its squared silhouette and sharp edges, creating a crisp, architectural profile that integrates seamlessly with the worktop and cabinetry for clean, flush lines and a sophisticated finish. The compact yet surprisingly deep bowl delivers outstanding practical capacity for everyday kitchen tasks, offering ample room for washing larger items without compromise. Every Mellor is handmade by master craftsmen at the Whitebirk Sink Company in Lancashire, continuing a fireclay manufacturing tradition dating back to the late 1800s, and is backed by a lifetime warranty and durable anti-bacterial glaze finish with nanocoating.

At Home of Clay we are proud stockists of the Whitebirk Sink Company range. Visit our Newcastle-under-Lyme showroom in Staffordshire to see Whitebirk sinks in person or browse and order online.

Key features

• Squared silhouette with sharp edges -- The Mellor's defining characteristic is its precisely squared profile and sharp-edged apron front, which gives it a more architectural, contemporary character than traditional rounded farmhouse sinks. The clean lines create crisp, flush connections with the worktop and cabinets for a polished, considered finish.
• Compact yet deep single bowl -- Despite its compact 595mm width, the Mellor delivers a surprisingly deep bowl that provides genuine practical capacity for all kitchen tasks. The depth makes it comfortable to use for washing larger pots and pans without the bulk of a wider sink.
• Apron front design -- The exposed apron front gives the Mellor its farmhouse character while the squared, sharp-edged profile keeps it firmly in the contemporary design vocabulary, making it equally at home in modern and transitional kitchen settings.
• Single 3.5" waste outlet -- The Mellor features a single 3.5" waste outlet suitable for either a basket strainer waste or a waste disposal unit. Waste kit sold separately.
• Handmade fireclay construction -- Crafted from heavy-duty fireclay by master craftsmen in Lancashire, the Mellor is built to last a lifetime. Fireclay is exceptionally hard-wearing, resistant to heat, staining and impact, and delivers the weight and quality that define a true luxury kitchen sink.
• Durable anti-bacterial glaze with nanocoating -- The anti-bacterial glaze finish provides a hygienic, easy-clean surface that resists bacteria and staining in everyday use. Nanocoating adds a further layer of surface protection for long-lasting cleanliness and ease of maintenance.
• Lifetime warranty -- Every Whitebirk sink is backed by a lifetime warranty, reflecting the exceptional quality and durability of the fireclay construction and glaze finish.
• Available in white and made-to-order colours -- The Mellor is available in white gloss as standard. Coloured and mottled finishes are available to order with a typical lead time of 4 to 6 weeks. Please contact us to discuss colour options.

Why choose the Whitebirk Mellor?

The Mellor is the farmhouse sink for those who want the character and presence of an apron front design without the full footprint of a wider single or double bowl model. At 595mm wide it fits comfortably into a standard 600mm kitchen unit run, making it one of the most straightforward farmhouse sinks to specify and install without requiring bespoke cabinetry modifications or changes to the kitchen layout. The squared silhouette and sharp edges give it a distinctly contemporary quality that sets it apart from more traditional curved apron front designs, making it a natural fit for modern kitchen schemes where clean geometry and precise detailing are a priority.

The depth of the bowl is a genuine practical advantage at this width. At 230mm deep, the Mellor provides a bowl that belies its compact footprint, handling larger items comfortably and making everyday washing up noticeably more spacious and convenient than a shallower sink of equivalent width. Combined with the handmade fireclay construction and lifetime warranty, the Mellor represents outstanding long-term value for those who want a quality British-made farmhouse sink in a compact, versatile format.

As the only British-owned company continuing the Lancashire fireclay tradition, Whitebirk brings a depth of craft knowledge and heritage to every sink they produce. The Mellor is a product of that tradition -- a genuinely handmade piece designed to serve a kitchen for a lifetime.
