unmendable
Cannot be fixed
Unmendable describes something that cannot be repaired or fixed.
The word applies most naturally to physical objects like torn fabric or broken tools, but extends readily to abstract damage: an unmendable rift between former friends, unmendable trust.
It carries more finality than simply "broken"—suggesting that attempts at repair would be futile or that the damage is too severe to overcome.
