I have a small leak from a flexible hose which takes the hotwater supply into the shower system. The hose connects to the column on the back of the shower system and then goes under the floor to the supply.
The leak appears to be coming from either where the braided hose is crimped to the fitting or the joint between the crimp and the fitting. The seal inside the fitting seams sound so it must be a fault in or around the crimp.
Is it possbile to cut the crimped fitting off and reattach the hose to another fitting, or even buy and crimp another fitting to the hose?
Replacing the braided hose is a massive task that will require the entire shower system to be moved to gain access to the other end of the hose so if possible I'd like to repair the hose.
