Mend, repair, and fix

What is the difference between words, mend, repair, and fix?

Thank you.

Not much difference, in my initial reaction. repair and fix are the most common, I think, in AmEng. I somehow have the feeling that mend is used more for clothing and, for some odd reason, for something more abstract [the conference seems to have mended relations between the two countries].
