The bit where you screw the shower hose onto the shower mixer is damaged

Is this a job for epoxy putty or is there something else?


A picture would be a big help. Usually the outlet is too substantial to
get damaged. The repair will depend on the nature of the damage.

Make/model of mixer would be a help too.

+1. I'd be more inclined to use silicone than epoxy because that would
give you a better chance of replacing the hose later if you need to. But
the epoxy putties are very effective.
