There is no requirement to bond the sink, you would be wise to get it checked properly. Sounds like you have no RCD on the sockets.

A picture paints a thousand words. You could try pushing the wires into the terminations as some are merely push fit connectors. Post a picture and we may be able to advise further.

Connecting a single outlet to the 20A DP will ensure a max of 13A is drawn.
