You can't repair pole hose really, if you do the repaired part will snag on the inside of the pole, causing endless annoyance.

Just buy a new length of hose, its cheap as chips.

You can repair your pole hose, ok it's not ideal but if you pop to halfords and buy an inline plastic connector that'll do the job.

I use them all the time even with hot water they hold without the need to clamp the hose

Go to B+Q and get the little plastic white Y connectors you get in a packet,these will fit the normal 5mm hose to brush head and there is straight bartbed ones for joining these size tubing,they will be near the bungee and tubin or rope department.
