To counter Sunder nastiness allow me to propose a fix. Pathfinder BETA already allows to mend items with "Broken" condition via low level magic spells (any weapon not Destroyed is Broken, Destroyed = 0 hp, during Sunder you may choose NOT to Destroy a weapon if you find out yourself dealing too much damage).
The fix would be as follows:
1. Any object which gained "Destroyed" condition may be repaired.
2. Repairing using tools and appropriate materials consumes half of original resources both for mundane and magic items.
3. Use of magical repairing spells on a "Destroyed" magic item is allowed provided that magical spells are employed within 1 hour per object's caster level. Otherwise, the magic is lost and the repaired object loses all magical traits.
4. To prevent influx of repaired magic items into campaign world, use the following rule during normal repair (#2) and strictly magical repair (#3): the character performing repairs must make a repair check similar to the one used during magic item creation with the same DC (check Magic Item Web Enhancement by Paizo).
