We always replace O rings. They cost pennies. I don't even think O rings can be repaired.

Like Milo Says O rings can be replaced not repaired, open the attach links will show where the O rings and the cartridges are, remove the plastic plug and the screw at the handle, remove the handle and the nut under the handle remove the cartridge then you will have access to the O rings, Thanks.

Milo's correct. You can't "repair" "O" ringes you replace them. (see image).
Just take the "O"rings to be replaced in to a plumbing shop and have them size them out for you. While you're there pick up a tube of Silicon Jel to lubricate the rings. Never use any petroleum based grease to lube a neoprene gasket or "O" ring It will rot the neoprene. Good luck, Tom
