Stately covers Glen Innes with a 24/7 emergency contact service. Leave the hose attached and keep away from wet power connections while the damaged fitting is assessed.
Stop operating the pullout mixer
Turn the mixer off using its normal control if safely reachable. Do not pull the spray head further out to inspect a split while water is running. If a known local supply valve can be reached safely from a dry position, close it gently and report whether the escape stops.
Keep other kitchen users from turning the tap back on. A warning to the household is more useful than leaving a towel in the cupboard. If water has reached a waste disposer connection, dishwasher socket or other electrical component, keep clear and arrange an electrician’s check before that equipment returns to use.
Identify the moving hose from a safe view
Explain whether water comes from the flexible hose linked to the pullout head or from a fixed supply connection nearby. These parts have different functions, so a broad photograph showing the mixer and cupboard layout can help the conversation. Avoid detaching hoses to prove which connection is responsible.
Mention if the spray head catches, the hose rubs against stored items or movement became stiff before the split appeared. Those observations can inform inspection of the hose route and fittings. They are history to pass on, not a reason to remove a weight or modify the mechanism before the plumber sees it.

Clear the working space beneath the sink
Move dry loose storage only where it is safe to reach. Leave the trap, hose weight and fixed fittings attached. Tell Stately about drawers, bins or a waste disposal unit that restrict access. The plumber needs room to assess the hose travel as well as the point where water is escaping.
If water has run behind the cabinet or beneath flooring, report that separately from the visible hose leak. Do not remove fitted panels to follow it. Arrange owner or property manager approval where required, particularly if access might disturb joinery rather than simply involve a repair within an open cupboard.
Choose compatible parts after inspection
Ask whether a replacement hose is available and suitable for the mixer model. Pullout assemblies vary, and a similar looking hose can have different connections or movement requirements. Provide any accessible brand or model information, but avoid buying a replacement solely on the appearance of the spray head.
Discuss whether the mixer itself is otherwise serviceable and how the proposed work will be tested. Replacing an entire tap and replacing a compatible hose are different decisions. Ask the plumber to explain the findings, any part availability issue and how the kitchen supply will be left while further work is arranged.
Check movement as well as water flow
At handover, ask for the repaired mixer to be checked through its normal range of movement. The original failure involved a moving hose, so a stationary dry connection is only part of the assessment.
Keep storage away from the hose path once the cupboard is ready for use. Retain the part information and repair note for future reference.
Emergency plumber: questions from Glen Innes
Can I use the tap if I leave the head in place?
Leave the mixer unused until the split hose has been assessed. Keeping the spray head still does not repair the damaged section or establish how water is escaping. Tell Stately whether closing the tap stopped the leak and whether there is another kitchen water source available while the repair is arranged.
Should I buy a universal pullout hose?
Ask about compatibility first. The connection type, length and movement arrangement need to suit the mixer, not just resemble the old hose. Provide the brand, model or a safe photograph if available. The plumber can assess the damaged assembly and discuss a suitable hose or a different repair scope after inspection.
Why inspect the cupboard layout for a hose repair?
A pullout hose needs space to travel and return without snagging. Stored items, fitted bins or nearby pipework can affect that movement. Tell the plumber about any catching you noticed before the split and keep the mechanism intact. The repair check can then include its route as well as the water connections.
