While out in space, I believe they can be repaired using remote repair modules, as well as Repair Drones.
When docked, simply hit the button for the Repair Service, choose your ship in the list and repair the drone (or just "Repair All").

Yeah.
You need the skills Remote Armor Repair and Remote Hull Repair.
Then you get a Remote Armor Repair Module and a Remote Hull Repair Module and put them on your ship.
Call the drones back and have them orbit your ship. Then target the damaged drone. Make sure you don't have any blinking guns as they will shoot it the second you do. Once the drone is within range, which is fairly close, you select it, then select the Repair Module(s). When the damage goes away turn them off.
Drone shields will repair just by going back into your hold or regenerate over time.
The Repair Drones seem to be Armor Only.
If you don't have those skills or modules, simply go to any base with a Repair Function and click on it. Then tell it to repair all and it will fix your drones.
If you can fix your ship and drones with Armor and Hull Repairers that will save you the cost of having the station do it. It also lets you keep your drones in combat if you have the modules on your ship. If you see them getting shot up - just recall them, fix them and then send them back out.
A ship like the Arbitrator is designed to be a drone boat and in fact has a high slot that cannot be assigned to a turret or a launcher - an ideal spot to put a Remote Armor Repairer.
One thing that is good do do - if you are being sent to a remote system - is to carry along a set of repair modules with you and then just leave them in your Hangar at a local base. If you get all shot up - come back to that base - shuffle your modules around so you can fit these repair modules - fix your ship - and then put all your combat modules back.
Thus, even if you are a shield tanker - it pays to bring along Armor and Hull Repair modules.
Of course, these Remote Repair modules can also be used on other ships in your fleet.
Just don't accidentally repair a rat or someone concord is after - or Concord will be after you ...
