The gases (or vacuum) inside electric bulbs is usually specific to what kind of bulb it is. It can be repaired, by separating the glass from the metal, replacing/correcting whatever is broken, and resealing it in an environment that will have only that specific gas (or vacuum) inside. It can be repaired, but it's at least the same effort/expense (probably more) as making a new bulb.

Why it happens that when electric bulb heats up it does not glow?

When an electric bulb heats up, it can stop glowing if the filament inside breaks due to the extreme temperature. The filament in a light bulb glows when an electric current passes through it, but if it breaks, the circuit is disrupted and the bulb will not light up. This can also happen if the filament is damaged by vibration or stress.
