Hi
If the seacocks in the loo are blakes (name cast in the side below one of the 2 nut and bolts at the top) they are cast bronze and should be in good condition. All you need to do is regrind the seats, with a little valve grinding paste.
I belive the Blakes 1 1/2 and 3/4 are still made to the original dimentions.
I have no info on the Raw water intake seacock.

If the engine seacock is controled by a handle from the bottom it can also have the seat re-ground in situ.
