Rear window wash water pipe

Hi guys

I am currently running a 56 plate octavia Vrs estate. The other week switched the rear wash wipe on - squirted some water on the screen and no water, i new the bottle was not empty, continued to squirt - next thing the water is entering the car, turns out that the water pipe feed the washer jet has split - has anybody else come across this issue. The pipe is quite ridged and obviously due to the tailgate being lift / closed has put a kink in the pipe and then it has spilt,

Regards

paul.
