A small nail hole can be fixed with a self tapping screw screwed into the hole. If you can turn the water off and it is a copper pipe you can also solder the screw in place. This would also work for a plastic pipe. You may need to seal it with a silicone gel similar to those products that seal around a bath. Otherwise cut pipe in half and get a compression coupling or flexible pipe repair section from Screwfix.com in the UK.
