Default Pressure washer question

The cable/hose connecting my Karcher 300 pressure washer and the gun has got a hole in it and water is spraying everywhere.
I'm not having much luck finding a replacement on the internet and don't want to have to buy a new pressure washer. Does anyone know if it is possible to simply buy a new cable/hose from somewhere?
Any help will be greatlt appreciated.

Is the hose plastic?
Try heating the handle of a spoon or the like and rub over hole the melted plastic may seal it if not at least you tried.

Simply clean | Dealer & Service search
the second result should be able to help you.
If you know the model number -
Simply clean | Spare Parts
Hope this helps.

Don't worry, B&Q are Karcher agents and have a range of spare hoses etc to fit most models for reasonable money.

Go along and see them,
