They are rebuild-able. A bit of cleaning and a couple of O-rings is all it usually takes.
If the valve has been changed within the last 10 years or so, it will be all plastic, so I'm not sure that these can be fixed like the originals can be. The good news is that they are relatively inexpensive. In Barbie's words, "life in plastic, it's fantastic".
