Is there any way to fix it without having to dismantle all the unit
around the sink?

Do you have enough length to:
- cut out the elbow joint plus some pipe
- form a new (longer) elbow out of some sort of elbow + pipe
- fit new elbow with two straight push-fit or compression joints?

or possibly work out something with a bit of flexy?
