The drawer under my kitchen sink broke and I was wondering it's something that is repairable in some way. I am open for suggestions! I am looking for a seamless repair, if possible.

It's a large drawer, 75cm height and the "bolt-on" screws at the bottom got loose.

Dismantle and reassemble, the nylon cams can be reset back in the door panel using glue or car body filler.
 
Any idea where I could find a carpenter/joiner to get this done for me? I posted on checkatrade but no interest so far.
 
Why do you need a carpenter/joiner? It's simply a matter of gluing the fascia back on with a bit of glue in the holes and waiting for it to set, as foxhole suggested. Tradesmen won't be interested because they wouldn't be able to charge enough to cover their expenses or time taken to do it. Do you have any family that could help if you are unable to do it for some reason? (such as infirmity/disability etc)

Probably no interest because Chekatrade charge tradesmen somewhere in the area of £180 a month - or £45 a week - for their listing. Also if it takes 45 minutes to get to your job, 30 minutes to do the job and 45 minutes to get back home, that's 2 hours in total - but that's at the cost of potentially losing a full day's work. Most people I know charge by the day or sometimes the half day - would you be happy paying for a half day (maybe £120 to £160) for what you see a simple 30 minute fix? TBH you may be better off looking for a local handyman service rather than a carpenter/joiner
