repair and restoration

Repair involves fixing or mending something that is broken, damaged, or malfunctioning to restore it to its original working condition. Restoration, on the other hand, refers to returning an item, building, or piece of art to its former state, often involving careful cleaning, replacement of damaged parts, or refinishing. While repair targets functionality, restoration emphasizes preserving or recovering the original appearance and integrity. Both processes aim to extend the lifespan and maintain the value of the item, with restoration often involving a more detailed effort to preserve historical or aesthetic qualities.
