If you can't find a way to replace the pipes properly soon, well-wrapped gaffa tape is surprisingly effective in the short term. #don'ttrythisathome

Let's just take a minute to drink in all the layered flavours of this wonderous bodge.
There's a bungy holding the sink waste together
The trap is balanced on a bottle of driveway salt
The soggy bit of rag is perfectly positioned to wick the leaking hot water isolator valve into the beautiful yellow bowl
We bought the house like this 18 months ago and surprisingly it's been trouble free (beyond a tiny trickle into the yellow bowl). I was going to wait until we have our 40k kitchen installed but the leak is now such that the bowl is filling up every 8 hrs or so.
The hot water plumbing goes like this - it enters the cabinet as FloFit which is bodged into a Hep2O isolator, back to FloFit and into the compression fitting of the tap tail.
I have some Hep2O pipe and push fit bits and bobs left over from my bathroom. What's the best way of joining new Hep2O to shitty old FloFit?
