Hi all,

Newbie here..

please see the attachment below which shows the connection for the hand held shower head in the stud wall, the wall is finished in tadelatk btw... in case anyone was wondering.

the leak is coming from the threaded bit as it goes into the connection thats screwed into the stud work. (see second pic)
question is how do i go about fixing it...? do i need a large allen key to tighten the thread up are would this be welded/ sealed?

as you can no doubt appreciate by my rather unlettered post i have no idea what im talking about!!

any help gratefully received.
