    Replacing the adaptor plug is an option bur I suspect getting it done will cost more than a replacement power supply.

    Ebay is as good a place as any to get the charger, I just had a quick look and there are loads available. Prices are from around £7 upwards for a compatible one rather than an OEM Asus charger.

    As long as you choose a seller with good feedback and a returns policy you should be fine.
