Is the cord goling in or out of the adapter. If its the in going one it should be cheap if its the one thats connected and cant be removed it will be expensive. May be cheaper trying to get one from an overseas site.

You can repair cables on the low voltage side of the adapter, just trim up the ends, strip the insulation off the copper, thread through heatshrink, twist together the ends and solder, heatshrink, and then make a Z around the repair and use electrical tape to give some strength.

Or like said go to the likes of jaycar by the same size plug and solder a new plug on, doesn't matter if the leads a bit shorter just make sure the polarity is the same, + center usually.
