Don't waste your time to repair it. Despite repair it won't hold. And it is merely cost about £6.

Ha ha its my sense of humour, I meant it as tounge in cheek.
I replaced with copper as this is the second one to burst apparently and I'm hard piping most baths I do now anyway.

I was asked to do this bathroom 10 years ago but it needed to be done in 10 days while they were on holiday and must be completed when they return so I refused as I can't work with a gun to my head, in the end this guy took 4 weeks and its been a problem bathroom ever since, bath taps are a nightmare to get to due to the first 300mm of bath being in an alcove.

The middle picture is doable. No chance with the top & bottom one. Chewing gum is my preferred method.

I think it's not worth fixing it. Do not waste your time. He’s no use.

Think somebody took it really seriously.

My thoughts and prayers are with the deceased flexi's family.

That's worth a fortune! it's vintage! Don't repair it, it'll ruin the patina.

I said that not long back, IMHO they're garbage. OK to get you out the Rubbish on a Friday afternoon but its a matter of time before they fail.
