The materials you will need are as follows:

Remember you are working with electricity here. if you are uncomfortable with that, leave this repair to a professional. I am not liable for any damages that may happen!
Some key things to remember:
Constantly move the heat source on the heat shrink tubing / solder connectors to ensure a good seal.
Inspect each repaired wire to ensure a proper seal.
Test the repair out prior to putting the cord back into service.
