In Brazil, 'está consertado' is the most common way to express that something has been repaired. The phrase 'tá tudo consertado' (it's all fixed) is very common in casual conversation. In American English, 'is fixed' is often used metaphorically to mean a problem is resolved, while in Portuguese this sense is more often expressed with 'está resolvido' or 'está arrumado'.
