came loose and would not screw back. Further investigation shows that it
never will screw back on because it's the bit with the metal thread insert
(captive nut, I suppose) that's broken away from the plastic back bit so I
suppose it means putting a new waste in.


Could you glue it back on with Araldite? it helps if you roughen the
two bits with some fine sandpaper first.
