refit
Modernize old machinery
To refit is to repair, restore, or re-equip something for continued use—typically a ship, aircraft, or facility: The vessel was refitted with new engines.
A refit is both the process and the period during which it occurs: The factory closed for a six-month refit.
The word implies more than routine maintenance—updating or overhauling rather than simple repair.
