mending
The technical meaning of maintenance involves functional checks, servicing, repairing or replacing of necessary devices, equipment, machinery, building infrastructure, and supporting utilities in industrial, business, and residential installations. Over time, this has come to include multiple wordings that describe various cost-effective practices to keep equipment operational; these activities occur either before or after a failure.

mending
Mending refers to the action of repairing or fixing something that is broken or damaged. This process often involves patching or stitching up holes, broken parts, or cracks in order to restore an effect, structure, or integrity of the original item. While mending is often used for physical objects such as clothes or objects, it can also be used metaphorically to refer to healing broken relationships or improving situations.
