Ok, So my shower has decided to spring a leak overnight and Ive found out the cause of it, a piece of pipe has a tiny little hole in it.

With basic knowledge at hand, I'll repair it but need to know what part to get, Whats this called?:

Its just an "elbow" or 90 degree bend. Is this a feed to the shower or part of the drain / waste?

The former will likely be a 15mm elbow, the latter, a 35mm elbow.

It certainly looks like the feed. Either way, both are compression fit :)
 
Yeah just take to B&Q and wander up and down the plumbing isle until you find it. You'll probably find 3 other guys doing exactly the same thing, and 1 woman who just asked the assistant. :p

Yeah, Its the feed into the shower.

Was hoping to avoid this as the nearest B&Q is about 20 miles away and none of us drive, hoping to just buy it online or something but will have to arrange a trip to B&Q.
 
it's a 90 degree wobble flange with a blowback seal :p only joking :p

You can try DIY stores but I'd say you'd have more luck at a plumbing wholesaler or specialist, they'll likely have more parts and staff who know their stuff.
