Hi,

After trying to remove a tightly fitted washing machine hose I am experiencing a leak in the below pictures. (The red square). Is there anyway I can possibly fix this or does it require calling out a plumber?

Hi Oli and welcome, you can just replace the valve, here just shut off main valve and replace the damaged one. You did try tightening it first?
