I checked the spell out over the weekend and found this out.

The mending spell, according to the PHB, mends 1 cubic foot per level of the
caster.  The appropriate book in the Spelljammer box set states that 1 hull
point is restored for every 10 cubic feet mended.  So, you would need at least a
10th-level mage to restore at least 1 hull point per casting.  The same mage
could restore a maximum of 5 hull points per day, if he were to memorize Mending
for all his 1st-level spells.

Hope this helps.
