I apologize if this wasnt placed in the correct forum but I didn't see anything else;
So about a month ago the strainer in my home's kitchen sink started to have problems. I had never fixed anything like this before nor did I do any plumbing at all but I enjoyed fixing this problem and it came out pretty well. Long story short the putty started to dissolve over time and caused the strainer to come out of place, making a bad leak. I managed to fix it last night but today I noticed how my kitchen sink faucet handle was not stopping at its normal stopping point when I wanted to turn the cold water off. As a result my sink was leaking from where the water comes out of. I turned off the cold water from under the sink and looked up a few guides online to check the faucet handle and it all resulted in me removing a screw that seemed to be chipped when i unscrewed it from the handle to see what was wrong with it. I could never remove the handle even with the chipped screw and I forced it and it broke somehow. All I'm trying to know is what exactly am I dealing with here in terms of repair and costs.
