The showerhead screws into an exposed riser pipe...but the threaded insert has detached from the showerhead (see pics). Can this be repaired...maybe via soldering? This size is discontinued and it is part of a matching set, so I would have to replace 2 of them, which would be quite expensive.

if you want to fasten the small part in to the large part ,
this will do it .
forever

don't get any on the treads that attach it to the pipe in the wall though.

Wow, never seen that happen.

If it is chrome-plated brass, yes, you can sand off the chrome and braze or solder the two pieces together. It'll get pretty hot, so rubber/plastic components will have to be removed.

Unless that is an antique showered that is integral to your decor, I'd just replace it/them. I know you said it would be expensive, but not sure what that would be a material hurdle. They don't look to be pimpin' gold!

Unless you are just itching for a project and the rest of the house is so stitched up that it's boring!

Shower heads aren't expensive. What you need to achieve is a good flow and many a stream so you rinse away all the bubbles in and around your nooks and crannies. Dont leave any soap film anywhere. Get it all. You'll feel great...

Duct tape will fix that and the color matches perfectly.

There are no signs of braze on the parts. Although I am not a shower head mechanic it occurs to me that an epoxy might be sufficient to join the two parts.

And epoxy is probably too rigid and would fail over time.

This has potential.

I'd also look at Omni Stick. I've used it in a variety of applications that are subject to changes in heat and moisture with great success.

Due to the water pressure, almost anything you do is likely to fail eventually, short of recreating the press fit that was originally used.
