Task guide
When this may be needed
- Water sprays from a split in the hose.
- The hose drips at the mixer or the head.
- The hose has kinked and reduces the flow.
- The outer coil has unwound or rusted.
- The hose is too short to reach comfortably.
What the team does
The technician unscrews the old hose from the mixer outlet and the head, cleans both threads and checks the washers. The new hose is fitted with fresh washers, with the cone end at the head as most hoses require, and tightened by hand plus a little, not over-tightened. The shower is run and both ends are checked for drips.

Limits & price factors
