fix up

Restore to condition

Fix up means to repair, improve, or put in order.

You fix up an old house by renovating it, or fix up your appearance before going out.

To fix someone up is to arrange something for them—a date, a job, accommodations: Can you fix me up with your friend?

We got fixed up with a room at the inn.
