<p>During recalibration of my printer (due to the nozzle catching on the prints), the Z-axis went down where it used to go up, damaging the heatbed steel sheet in the process. It then failed calibration.
I didn't change the wiring since previous print although I re-adjusted the PINDA probe.
What can I do to fix this?</p>

From the information you gave, it could have been *anything*. Some other possibilities would be the probe not working at all or the wires not working.
