Frequently Asked Questions
What’s the difference between a brass undermount sink and a drop-in sink?
A brass undermount sink is installed beneath the countertop for a seamless look, ideal for stone or solid surfaces. A brass drop-in sink, also known as an inset sink, sits on top of the worktop with a visible rim—perfect for classic or farmhouse-style kitchens.
Do your brass sinks come pre-patinated?
We offer our sinks in a satin finish that naturally patinates over time. For those who want a head start on the aged look, we can supply the sink with a hand-applied aged brass patina.
Can I choose the size and configuration of my sink?
Yes. Whether you’re ordering a brass undermount or drop-in sink, we can customise the dimensions, bowl depth, and layout to fit your space and design preferences.
Are brass sinks difficult to maintain?
No. Both undermount and drop-in brass sinks are easy to maintain—just clean with mild soap and water. The surface will develop a natural patina, adding to its charm and character.
Which worktops are suitable for brass undermount sinks?
Brass undermount sinks work best with solid surfaces like quartz, granite, marble, or brass worktops, where a flush, seamless installation can be achieved.
Can brass sinks be used in commercial kitchens?
Yes. Our handmade brass sinks are built to withstand regular use and are ideal for boutique commercial kitchens, bars, and hospitality venues.
Do brass sinks need sealing or coating?
Our satin finish brass sinks are supplied uncoated to allow natural patina. If you prefer a fixed finish, we can apply a clear lacquer on request.
