All of the ones on that page are US 120v plugs. If Amazon UK does not
handle a comparable power supply you will probably have to obtain some
sort of adapter to make the plugs match.


A lot of the newer ones accept 100V-240V. You just need a plug adapter
rather than a voltage converter.

Or, if the damage is in the middle of the cord, just cut the bad section
out and reattach the two ends. Mark one edge of the cord first so you can
preserve the right polarity,


Most of them (at least the 2-wire flat ones) are already marked,
although that can be hard to see. The insulation around one wire is
rougher than around the other.

stagger the splices to keep the connection
from getting to big, and use some heat shrink tubing to protect the
splice.
