It would be something that you would be liable for IF the item in question was in good condition before hand. So if the house is 30 years old and its the original sink then there is a chance that its wear and tear (yes you dropedp something in it but its a sink so should be expected to handle a certain amount of force)
Definitely contact the real estate agent BEFORE you do any repairs yourself. If you have their email, send through some photos. Otherwise the property manager may want to organise a time to come look at it. I doubt this is something they would terminate your lease over, and I don't think it would go in your rental history either. Try not to stress, accidents happen!
Don't replace it without speaking to the rental agent. Your landlord may have insurance that will cover the damage. Don't stress though, damage happens and speaking as a landlord I wouldn't worry as long as the damage wasn't malicious.
