Was trying to fix a leak on the sink tap and ended up breaking the cold side plastic piece where the hose attaches underneath. Can I still use the hot side even though the other side is broken? Just want it to work whilst I order a new one.... Cheers

Can you hold a bucket under the sink and turn the tap on to see if there is a leak when the hot tap is on? Risk is someone will turn the cold tap and the cold water will flood out as the pump won’t know there is no tap on the end. Depends how it is wired/piped of course.
