Can somebody please tell me if this can be repaired? Or do I need to replace the whole window frame?

 

To me it looks like a pop-rivet was used for the hinge.

 

 

This is what the other side looks like.

It is a pop rivet. The trick is setting the rivet without locking the pivot solid. Maybe a paper shim that won't last.

Best way is to replace the hinges as a pair. Drill the rivets out and replace. Trying to successfully repair the pivot rivet is unlikely to work well.
