Hi, I have a brass hand held shower hose that it is leaking. In the past I could access the inner tube and when the leakage was near the end of the hose I used to cut it out and refit the bits and the washer. This one has a terminal nut (image one) that when unscrewed does not slide away to allow me to pull the inner tube out and either check/repair or even replace the inner flexible plastic tube. The other end of the hose is connected to the mixer taps but does not have the indentations for a spanner or smooth pliers. Any advice please?

Buy a new hose.
They are not designed to be repairable other than a new rubber washer in the end if that's where the leak is.

Thank you. Is there a special tool for grabbing the no indentations connector? I guess I can use anything since it will be thrown away but I tighten the new one since either spanner or pliers will scratch it? Sorry for the ignorance but your advice will further be appreciated.
Thanks

On the new one use the supplied rubber washers then hand tight.
