The bubble maker has died after being left outside too many times last summer.

Some experimenting has show the issue to be the switch.

Can these things be fixed? If so how?

Otherwise what is this switch called when I'm searching on AliExpress?

Any pointers much appreciated.

You need to know a few things
1. Is it momentary i.e. when you let go does it break.
2. Is it latching ? i.e. does it stay on until you press it again.
3. Is it normally open or normally closed ( best guess open)
Once you know this you should be good to go.

I probably have a spare one of these if it is suitable

Cheers. I'll check those points.

You press down to turn on and it stays turned on until you press it again, but it doesn't lock like a standard light switch.

So..
- Momentary
- Latching
- Open
Right?

Mine only has 3 pins, but I guess a 6 pin one if these should be fine if I just connect one side:
