Wife has just informed me we have a leak under the sink. I'm going to drop in screwfix and try and get the parts to fix it, on the way home this evening. I only have a couple of images to work with and don't have a clue what I need. Can anyone assist. Wife says the metal screw is broken.


Pipe to the right leads to the washing machine. Pipe on the wall is the water inlet. Above this (can't see in pic) is the sink outlet. This is in a kitchen cupboard under the sink.
Can anyone make sense of this? Wife is out now and it's a bit of a drive to go home then back out to get the bits.

My original was franke from howdens and brilliant.
Just saying. Depends if you want to catch the food bits.
There is a waste overflow pipe.
Can't see how it exactly works but with any luck it will all go together OK.
However. It might not line up unless old waste has brand on and you can buy the same..
Might need an adjustable waste bend to line up.. (edited)
Someone recommended just using plumbers mate? But I will have to take it apart to put that on anyway and the new u bend is only around £7 anyway. Everything will be new after that aswell as all the rubbers look old
Just read the reply below, keep plumbers mate away! ptfe if needed but none of it should be needed with a new trap and washers (edited)
