I suspect that cable could be fully replaced.

Juist been quoted around £70 - Electrician said probably using a Wago box to repair?
That's what I assumed. I'd expect the cable goes up the wall, horizontally through the ceiling void, then down (or perhaps up) to the next point on the circuit. I can't see a new cable being pulled through that route, not without a few holes being cut. Wagobox is how I'd tackle this.Are we all on the same page that this is the feed side not the load?
Only other option I could see is if by some miracle there was easy access to floor boards above, or (depending on flooring) an SBC access hole above.That's what I assumed.

Tbh as it's plasterboard, the best, quickest, and easiest would be to pull a new length through using the existing cable and re-terminate each end.
