While I was moving my washing machine the input hose pulled out
of the fitment where it goes into the machine. Cue several dozens
of gallons of water over the kitchen floor... But now I can't get the
fitment back over the hose - it's one of those screw-on things that
holds the end of the hose against a rubber washer on the machine.
It must have got through the hole on the way out, but there's no
give on the fitment to let me push it back over the hose, and I
don't want to risk breaking anything by pushing too hard or
bashing it with anything... Any advice please?

It's probably easier to go and buy a new hose.

If I am reading this correctly, the flexible hose has detached it's self
from the screw connector that screws to the machine?

So, in this picture, the blue hose and the 90 degree connector are now
separate?

A new hose is £1.69 from screwfix

Or am I barking up the wrong tree?
If so, do you have a picture of the problem?

Yes, exactly as you say.. Sounds like time to replace the hose, thanks.
