You could use heat shrink.

Iv used self amalgamating tape when doing harness repairs / mods.

Weird stuff no glue, it just sticks to itself and turns into one piece. You can get it from Maplins etc..

Remove old tape, remove all the old glue from the wires with white spirit, then put the loom in a delicates bag and put it in the washing machine when the missus is out. Dry and check all the connections, then retape with proper loom tape (easily available and cheap on interweb).

Places like Wilkos I would guess but I do not know 100% - sourcing this sort of stuff is not my area of household responsibility

I used the 'cloth' type loom tape.Much better than sticky goopy insulation tape,ldoesn't age like insulation tape and is soft to the touch,lovely if you have girly hands like me!!
