In desperate need of help here. I have tried the local Burmese mob, the local odd job man and have tried at least a dozen times myself but the b&$stard thing still spews water and has rotted out the wooden cabinets below.

I really need a contact for someone who KNOWS what to do to fix the leak and replace the cabinet before I start a fish farm in the kitchen.

I am in Chalong by the way.

Thanks in advance for any sensible advice/help.

A new cabinet and sink combo don't cost much at all, decent range to choose from at HP in Chalong.

Is it the sink basin itself, or the drain pipe underneath that's leaking?

If the sink basin has a hole in it, you probably should get a new one. You could patch the old one but it may be wearing thin (from rust) so you'd just be prolonging the problem
If it's the trap and drain pipe underneath, these things tend to leak whenever you touch them.
Best is to adjust it until it doesn't leak and then don't touch it.

If you need a real plumber, there is a shop near Wat Chalong on the main road.
It is between Wat Chalong and the traffic light to the north, (same side of the hi-way as the Wat)

DIY plumbing is fairly simple here.
No freezing to contend with.
No hot water line.
Just one supply (cold) and a drain pipe.

Drains are a little more tricky as things have to be lined up correctly.

I tired of hiring the locals as twice they forgot the glue and a week later, I had major leaks.
How can a plumber forget to glue the plastic piping?
Can't imagine what they were thinking.

Try bucket under the trap and see how much it is leaking and determine where
