The ozone layer is constantly being renewed by available oxygen, and UV-C from our Sun. UV-C and UV-B from the Sun also destroy ozone, but so do contaminants (and time). So "repairing itself" involves getting rid of contaminants. Some contaminants take decades to eventually leave the vicinity of the ozone layer, and nothing we can do will accelerate that process (and leave the ozone layer intact). So all we can do is wait, and stop adding old (or new) contaminants to the air.
