    Leaking sink trap - which washer?

    I have a dripping sink trap which it seems needs a replacement washer. Sink trap kits I've found contain the right type of washer - a flat O-ring, but the sizes tend to be 32mm or 40mm. The 32mm are a bit small and the 40mm way too big. Any idea what I should be looking for?

    Kitchen sink overflow cover

    Hi. The cover has come off the overflow pipe on my kitchen sink. It was looking very tarnished anyway, so needs replacing. Can I buy any cover or does it have to be a certain type? I have attached a photo of the overflow in question. Many thanks Rachel

    Kitchen sink leak

    Hi all, Noticed a leak that comes from the side drainage, not the main part of the sink. Hopefully pictures make it clear. Is this a fix I can do myself, e.g. with sealant? Or will this need new parts/plumber intervention? Thanks as always for your help. Martin.
