Silly question i know but are you sure it isn't just a flat battery, with a light or something left on overnight :?:

In answer to your question, alternators can be refurbished... do a search for alternator on the site and you'll find plenty posts on it.

I'd eliminate other stuff first though, battery have fluid in it?

Mark, how did you come to the conclusion that the alternator is the problem?
Search the forums for 'alternator', there were plenty of previous threads on this topic in the past.
