Handmade Copper Kitchen Sinks – Made to Order
Each of our copper sinks is handcrafted to your exact dimensions, with options for single or double bowls, drainer sections, and custom depths. Because they’re fabricated to order, we can accommodate a range of design preferences — from farmhouse-style Belfast sinks to contemporary undermount and inset designs.

Finishes for Copper Kitchen Sinks
Each copper kitchen sink is available in either a natural satin or aged patina finish
- Natural Copper
Supplied in a soft satin finish after fabrication, this bright, warm copper will gently patinate over time, gaining character and richness as it ages. - Patina Aged Copper
A pre-aged finish achieved through hand-applied patination techniques, sealed with beeswax. The result is a deep, lived-in tone — ideal for heritage kitchens, moody interiors, or industrial styles.
Both finishes are protected with a wax coating to slow patina development.
Sink Styles
We offer a wide range of bespoke styles, including:
- Copper Belfast Sinks – Traditional deep apron-fronted sinks with classic lines
- Copper Undermount Sinks – Clean and modern, fitted beneath the worktop for a seamless look
- Drop-In Copper Sinks – Set into your worktop for easy installation and strong visual presence
- Copper Sinks with Drainers – Integrated or separate copper drainer sections for full functionality
If you need advice on which style works best in your space, we’re happy to help — just get in touch with your ideas or a rough sketch.

We also create fully integrated copper sink and drainer units, seamlessly fabricated from a single copper sheet for a clean, minimalist look.
Care and Maintenance
Copper is a living metal that naturally evolves over time. Rather than lacquer — which isn’t suitable for hardworking items like sinks — we apply a protective wax finish before delivery to help slow the rate of patination. This wax can be reapplied periodically if desired. With daily use, subtle changes in tone and natural markings will appear, gradually enhancing the character of your copper sink. To maintain its appearance, avoid abrasive cleaners and simply use mild soap with a soft cloth.
Frequently Asked Questions
Are your copper kitchen sinks handmade?
Yes, all of our copper kitchen sinks are handmade to order in the UK. Each sink is fabricated from high-quality copper sheet and can be customised to suit your kitchen layout and style.
What finishes are available for copper sinks?
We offer two signature finishes: a satin Natural Copper finish and a darker Patina Aged Copper. Both are sealed with wax before delivery to help preserve their look and slow the natural aging process.
Can I choose a custom size or sink style?
Absolutely. We can create Belfast, undermount, drop-in, or bespoke copper sinks to your exact size requirements. You can also add custom features like drainer sections or deeper bowls.
How do I care for a copper kitchen sink?
Use mild soap and a soft cloth to clean your copper sink. Avoid abrasive cleaners. We apply a wax finish before delivery to slow patina development, and this can be reapplied over time as needed.
Do copper sinks change colour over time?
Yes, copper is a living metal that naturally develops a patina with use. The colour will deepen and evolve, giving your sink a unique and characterful finish.
