New shower hose required for MFI bath

MFI_shower_hose

I have a bathroom suite, purchased from MFI a number of years ago. The chrome shower hose ,which runs from the central taps underneath the bath to a hole where it emerges outside the bath and connects to the shower head and sits back in the hole, has developed a leak. I am not aware of this myself, but I have gleaned from messages left in previous forums that the make is Kriss, Germany or Shattaf Kriss.

The shower hose has a different size connector at each end. The size of the fitting which attaches to the shower head is a standard fitting size, which I understand is 1/2 inch. The connector size on the opposite end to attach to the taps is i believe 3/8 inch. This to allow the hose to pass through the hole in the bath and eventually connect to the taps.

Can anyone offer me any advice where I would be able to obtain such a hose

Hi

I have inherited a bath with a retractable shower house. This holder tube is close to the taps. Above the taps, mounted on the wall, is a holder unit which is used to shower standing with the retractable hose. When this is used, water can leak through the holder tube to underneath the bath.

This is the first time i have come across a retractable hose, but my understanding is they should be used seating in the bath and not as standing shower hoses.

We do require the retractable functionality - we prefer to shower standing. Is there a way to replace the retractable bath rim unit with something that will allow me to attach a hose directly on the outside of the bath. This would prevent it retracting and also prevent water leaking underneath the bath.
