Hello Alison

A We've discovered that our external filter pond hose is

A Is there anything you can do to repair them? To replace the
A whole run seems wasteful (and expensive - it's large
A diameter stuff). Any thoughts greatly appreciated.

Should be fixable. Cut a thin chunk out and toddle around
pump/plumbing suppliers on your local industrial estate asking for
connectors for it.

A hoses to connect has fractured so most of the water escapes

A :-(

I don't know it, but most pumps are considered disposable these days
and parts hard to get, annoying for a piddly bit of shaped plastic.
Maybe some superglue and spare plastic might enable a bodge save?
