Replacing leaky piping underneath kitchen sink

[Jabhead]

Hi all,

I replaced our kitchen sink tap as a DIY job. Unfortunately in doing so the compression joints on the copper piping have now started leaking - I believe I over-tightened some so have only myself to blame.

Question is - what's my best move now? Should I:

- replace the compression joints with new ones? How easy would this be to do?

- totally replace the piping, in which case should I replace with flexible piping and put a new valve in?

- call in a professional plumber to sort out my mess?

Any advice would be great as I'm a bit of a plumbing novice!
