Usually all that needs to be replaced are the two bearings. In many cases even these can be saved if they are unsealed, or if sealed only on the outer side. Then upon an eyeball examination you may find that all they need is a good flush and regrease.
I don't keep rainy day bikes and good bikes, all my bikes are outdoor vehicles and have to be able to handle whatever weather they encounter. Proper set up and lubrication in advance is key to that.
