rejointed
Reattached at seams
Rejointed is the past tense of rejoint, meaning to fit with new joints or to repair existing joints.
The word appears most often in masonry and construction, where workers rejoint brick or stonework by renewing the mortar between units: The old chimney was cleaned and rejointed last summer.
Less commonly, it describes reassembling something at its joints.
