Is the longer fix just a case of removing, cleaning, adding some ptfe tape or should I be replacing the white bits?
Can’t say for the plumbing specifics but I’d definitely say that that longer fix involves finding out the extent of the water damage. If it’s been dripping slightly and the patch staying damp for a long time it might’ve done some fairly heinous damage to structural wood. Our downstairs neighbour had basically the exact same issue and will need to rip out their entire bathroom floor when they can get the cash together.
Sorry, fairly intense prediction for a Sunday morning.

Just had water dripping through the hall ceiling, it was while the bath was draining so I took off the panel and saw this. It tightened a fraction by hand so i reckon I’m onto the cause here, plus the floor underneath was sodden.
