Have I been over charged for sink work?

Ask for a headed invoice from plumber not landlord.
then check it out on line its a real firm vat ect theres more then one way to skin a cat

Atthebar - you should of took pictures of what happened before the plumber comes out.

Sorry but the plumber is going to favour the landlord as he'll be getting a bit of work off him

Most of these problems are common sense and i never got taught how to do these just figured it out by myself.

This problem i would say is the landlords fault as its wear and tear, the screw could of been corroded or anything. You should of asked for the old screw, seals for proof for yourself

To be fair I'd never think to take a photo of something as minor and a loose waste fitting and I wouldn't ask to keep the slimy thing. It's all well and good telling the open its common sense and they should have fixed it themselves but they rent the property so the onus is on the landlord to repair reasonable damage through wear and tear.
I think I've just worked out why I don't make much off the property I let.

Just to let you all know and thanks for your comments, I got this sorted last night. I asked the landlady if I could get the receipt and she said her husband dealt with it. I asked which company they used, again she had no answer. She seemed taken aback that said I would get a second opinion and that I would confirm how it happened. As I spoke directly to plumbers and they told me this could happen on it's own and I would confirm this and it seemed they knew they were in the wrong. She stated that we seemed a little angry when she viisited us and we spouted legal stuff. I said, no, we said that because we received a text from your partner stating it was our responsibility before even looking at the issue. So I stated what else could we do. It was all left amicable and we have moved on and said how we should deal with this in the future. Great stuff!!!
