you are going to need a new wheel.

the hub is **** now.

replacing it with the same crappy hub would be crazy, as you would break
it again in no time.

a suzue hub is a cheap, very strong hub, however, your current cheap rim
probably is not 36 holes, like the suzue hub.
'Alex/Suzue' (http://www.unicycle.com/shopping/shopexd.asp?id=339) is a
very good investment for a nice price.

It's (relatively) cheap, and if you ever break this suzue hub, the wheel
will already line up perfectly for a much stronger splined setup
(although, going to splined now would be a very good investment)

Hi Bungle,
I can fit a new hub for you if you like.

This is a strong one and costs £28

If you are going to BUC bring the wheel along and I will see what can be
done.
