How about the blacksmiths being added to estates?  Each estate could build one, and be able to repair a certain % of the damage.  The lord's would be doubly effective.  Let's say, each estate adds 20%, 40% for a lord.  Rural regions with one knight would be able to repair to 40%.  And cities would need three knights to repair completely.  It also means that if it is a priority, a rural border region could be assigned multiple estates so that troops do not need to travel to the cities to repair. 
Concerns:
Rural lord creates multiple vacant estates to increase efficiency of the smithies. 
Have blacksmiths shut down (or my preference work at ~1/5 capacity) if the estate is vacant.  Rural regions can still have blacksmiths, but they will be much less efficient unless the realm decides to invest there.
Armies will be able to refit at their borders.
Only if they do not need gold.  Banks are still in the cities.
The numbers could obviously change depending on how hard/easy we want it to be to fix 100%.  Three knights are needed according to my numbers.
