Bins leak, unfortunately liable to end up under water (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

sinkable

'liable to end up under water' is the definition.
(liable to sink)

'bins leak unfortunately' is the wordplay.
'unfortunately' is an anagram indicator.
'bins'+'leak'='binsleak'
'binsleak' anagrammed gives 'SINKABLE'.

(Another definition for sinkable that I've seen is " Not like the Titanic was believed to be".)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
