After finishing blowing detritus off the LR I snapped the tap on the skimmer ball valve. Luckily it snapped in the off position, it just has a slow drip which has a container under it now.

Are there any miracle ways to fix this or do I need to cut it out and replace the whole ball valve?

Well, luckily its a double union type, so just loosening the 2 unions (screw parts) on either side of the valve, just buy a new one.
 
Thanks dude, just the answer I was hoping for. I'm technically challenged, I would have sawed it off:whistling:
