Cut circle that just fits over the valve in a sheet of Tear Aid or the Cabrinha patches,

www.kitepower.com.au/collections/kitesurfing/SPGeneral
OR
www.kitepower.com.au/catalog/product_16990_Cabrinha_Bladder_Repair_Patches_cat_325.html

clean around area the patch will cover with metho/alchohol, apply patch.
This fixes a lot of the valves coming off issues, if not put seam stick or this glue

www.kitepower.com.au/catalog/product_16990_Cabrinha_Bladder_Repair_Patches_cat_325.html

The glue is available on its own, its $29 for a tube.

Or buy a stick on "U-stick" valve.

Very rare to have to buy a new bladder these days with the availability of new products like the above.
If in doubt call one of the crew at Kitepower, we can fix almost any bladder.
