If it's too dangerous i will get a plumber in.
Cheers

Hi,

Assuming that the rest of your house is earthed sufficiently, i.e. main water pipes e.t.c.

At the new sink you need to bond both of the tap pipes together using 6mm earthing cable and earth clamps, this will provide you with supplementry bonding. From the either of these clamps run another 6mm earth to the sinks earth tab, or a nut/bolt arrangement through a hole in the sink.

Hope this has helped.
