Revalve of what exactly?

Fork dampers?
4t engine valves?

Also, what bike do you have, big differences in all of the above depending on model.

Could be a typo - maybe it's vulva? They come with a split as standard though....

HAHA you are looking at about £2 for a new valve and somewhere around £10 to remove your wheel, break the bead and refit the tyre Thumbs Up .

Varies by place of course, IME the shittier looking the building the better the prices. Avoid main dealers anyway as they are a bunch of cvnts Mr. Green .

Hi

A tyre place in York (one of a national chain) charged us £5 to fit a new valve on Sunday 2 weeks ago. This was with us using their jack to support the bike while we took off the front wheel.

All the best

Given that it's a bung that's stopping internal pressure from escaping, I'd have thought it was the logical conclusion to have a bung fitted from the inside. Otherwise it'd be forced out.
