Leak under bath tap - what parts needed?

[Mr Sparkle]

Flexi tail split open causing a leak.

Can anyone advise on the exact parts I need, in order to replace the existing Flexi?

The sheer number of Flexis has made me a little confused.

Also is it recommended that I change anything else while I am down there?

1. Measure the length of the braided part.
2. If its 300 mm (or almost 300mm), use Screwfix 2475G. Replace both hot and cold.
3. Process is:
3a. Water off (hot and cold)
3b. At the pipe end of the existing flexis, push the very end of the plastic fitting towards the flex part and remove the fitting. Note: Sometimes they have a narrow "collet" between the very end and the rest of the fitting. Pull these out if present.
3c. Clean up the ends of the copper pipes with fine wire wool or similar. Not coarse sandpaper.
3d. Unscrew the other ends of the flexis from the threaded shanks of the taps.
3e. Screw the non-push fit end of the new flexis onto the end of the tap shanks. Firm finger tight plus 1/3 to 1/2 turn with a spanner.
3f. Push the push fit ends onto the copper pipes, making sure they are fully seated. Best measure the depth of the push fit fitting and mark that on the cleaned copper and make sure the new fitting meets the mark.
3b. Water back on.
