Just about suitable for restoration work (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

refit

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'restoration work' is the definition.
The definition and answer can be both acts as well as being singular nouns.
Perhaps you can see an association between them that I can't see?

'just about suitable' is the wordplay.
'just about' becomes 're' (regarding. I am not sure about the 'just' bit.).
'suitable' becomes 'fit' (similar in meaning).
're'+'fit'='REFIT'

'for' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for refit that I've seen before include "Updating or repair process for a ship" , "Equip for further use" , "Mend" , "Do repair job" , "Refurbishment (of ship)" .)

I've seen this clue in The Globe and Mail.
