there a kind of tape that will fix it permanently?

No, but for a few dollars you can get a new one. Consider garden hoses
as disposable. You can get connections to fix it where you cut the leak out
and reconnect the two ends, but likely you will have more leaks follow as
the whole hose is getting old.

unless it leaks because he ran over it on gravel.
Five or six wraps of duct-tape and a hose-clamp
will mostly fix it, but the splice kits are just
about as cheap.
