reattaching
Fixing back on
Reattaching is the act of fastening something back in place after it has been separated or detached.
Surgeons may spend hours reattaching a severed limb.
The word applies broadly: She's reattaching the broken handle with glue, He's reattaching the trailer to the truck.
The process implies restoration to a previous connected state.
