If possible I'd look to make sure that the cable is not going to short again. If you've damaged it with the drill and are confident enough I'd look at maybe putting a junction box in where the damage is but you'd need to isolate the whole cable from the panel before doing it. 

I cut back the damaged cable, and spliced in a replacement section of cable, soldering the ends together before using terminal blocks.

I have full confidence in the repaired section

But if your bell fuse is blown your bell should have sounded for 20 mins when it blew

What you would expect to have happen, the outside bell box, activated until the internal batteries in both of them ran down, and hence why I need to get a fuse to replace the bell fuse

I expected the bell to sound, but it seems that it did. but you omitted to tell us
