Pole hose is so cheap that you ought to have a good load of metres spare in your van at all times along with all the other spares you can afford.

Any good aquatics shop will have both hose and spares. :)
I can remember when waking up stiff in the morning was a good thing.

If you just need a temporary repair to get you through the rest of the day a few turns of insulating tape will do the trick.
