Key features

• Largest single bowl sink in the Whitebirk range -- The Samlesbury is Whitebirk's largest single bowl sink, offering an unrivalled combination of bowl width, depth and capacity that makes it the natural choice for those who want maximum usable space in a single bowl format.
• Apron front design with soft rounded corners -- The apron front gives the Samlesbury its distinctive, traditional character, while the soft rounded corners provide a cleaner, more refined profile than harder-edged farmhouse designs. The result is a sink that bridges the gap between traditional and contemporary kitchen aesthetics.
• Plunging bowl depth -- At 255mm deep, the Samlesbury provides exceptional bowl depth for a single bowl sink, making it easy to submerge and wash large items that would not fit comfortably in a shallower sink. This depth also reduces water splashing and makes everyday washing up noticeably more comfortable.
• Single 3.5" waste outlet -- The Samlesbury features a single 3.5" waste outlet suitable for either a basket strainer waste or a waste disposal unit. Waste kit sold separately.
• No overflow -- The Samlesbury has no overflow, keeping the interior clean and uncluttered.
• Handmade fireclay construction -- Crafted from heavy-duty fireclay by master craftsmen in Lancashire, the Samlesbury is built to last a lifetime. Fireclay is exceptionally hard-wearing, resistant to heat, staining and impact, and delivers the weight and presence that defines a true luxury kitchen sink.
• Durable anti-bacterial glaze -- The anti-bacterial glaze finish provides a hygienic, easy-clean surface that resists bacteria and staining in everyday use. Nanocoating is included on matt finish options for additional surface protection.
• 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 Samlesbury 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 Samlesbury?

The Samlesbury is the definitive choice for those who want a single bowl sink without compromise. The apron front format gives it the presence and character of a traditional farmhouse sink while the soft rounded corners and clean lines ensure it remains versatile enough for modern kitchen schemes. At 795mm wide and 255mm deep, it provides a single bowl workspace that rivals the combined capacity of many double bowl sinks, making it ideal for large households, keen cooks and anyone who regularly works with large or bulky cookware.

The depth of the bowl is the Samlesbury's defining practical feature. It is one of the deepest single bowl sinks available at this width, and the difference in everyday use is immediately apparent. Washing large stockpots, roasting trays and baking sheets becomes genuinely effortless, and the depth also means the sink can comfortably accommodate items that would otherwise need to be awkwardly propped or partially submerged in a shallower bowl.

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 Samlesbury is a product of that tradition -- a genuinely handmade piece designed to serve a kitchen for a lifetime.
