but the braided hose has gone, where can i get a replacement and can they be replaced? (for can read should)
The flexible inlet pipes?
Screwfix, toolstation or any decent plumbers merchants.
You'll need to know what size you have, there are 2 sizes commonly available, 10 and 12mm iirc. The other end are always the same size to attach to 15mm pipe.
You can get the Flexi Tap connectors from anywhere that sells plumbing supplies.
You will need a set of monobloc tap spanners to remove the tap from the sink too, you can't change the tap connector while the tap is attached to the sink.
So you will need to isolate the hot and cols supplies to the sink. Disconnect the Flexi's from the pipe work. Remove the tap from the sink. Swap over to the new Flexi's (do both a the same time to save doing it all again.)
And then reverse the pressure to put it all back together again.
a proper faff without the gear.. get some quick over the phone quotes from local plumbers.. many are quiet at the moment. i'd expect the flexis to be a fiver plus an hours faff..50 quid job done.
do it yourself and it ll be a fiver in materials and another tenner for tools plus a lot of faff.. saving you 35 quid but wasting a couple of hours you could be riding..
"Flexible hose tails" is the description

Absolutely !
It's a proper faff of a job even when you know what you are doing. If that location of the taps isn't spot on, you might even need to take the sink out too. I've had a few that you just can't get to with the tools. Pain in the arse.
cheers guys. i've had the tap off and the flexi off the 15mm. so prob just go ahead myself as its all accessible.
