Any faucet or control that mixes the hot and cold water before it comes out of the spout is a mixer valve. It is usually reserved for a shower control. They will vary in how to fix them. Some you replace rubber seals and gaskets, some you replace a cartridge. It is really no different than a kitchen faucet in the way it is put together. All of them you take the handle or handles off, then the trim plate and then you have access to the valve. Some are screwed in and some are held in with a clip that locks the cartridge in the body of the control. With the water turned off, taking it apart one step and layer at a time, laying out the pieces as they come off, it shouldn't be a problem fixing it. I believe this is true, if the valve screws in, it will probably have rubber seals that can be replaced. If the cartridge is held in with a clip, you replace the entire cartridge.
