don't know what you call it but it's the bit that the plug chain

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.

That would be my first line of attack. This stuff is awesome
