Cabin Refurbishment & Reconfiguration

Refurbished to a standard we're happy to put our name on

Refurbished units are worked on in our own Manchester workshops. That means we control the finish and can adapt units to exactly what our customers need — there's no reliance on outside contractors.

Services include colour changes, plumbing, electrical work, flooring and joinery. We can add partitions, kitchens, showers, sinks and toilets, plus heating and lighting, to turn a basic shell into a purpose-built space.

Kitchens are one of the things we are asked for most. A cabin kitchen means base and wall units, a worktop, a sink and drainer, a water heater, splashbacks, power, lighting and hard-wearing flooring — fitted into an office or welfare unit, built as a full canteen kitchen, or an existing one brought back to standard.

Washrooms are the other regular job. Anti-vandal washroom refurbishment, toilet refurbishment and changing room refurbishment all follow the same route: strip out the old sanitaryware and cubicles, repair the substrate, re-tank and re-seal the wet areas, fit new WCs, urinals, basins, cubicles and non-slip flooring, then test the plumbing and certify the electrics. Office washroom refurbishment on a unit you already own is quoted the same way — we collect it on our own transport, do the work and deliver it back.

What We Fit Out

Most units come to us as a shell or a tired fit-out. These are the spaces we build into them — on our own stock before it is listed, and on units our customers already own.

Refurbishment FAQs

What does refurbishment involve?

It depends on the unit and on what you want out of it. Work can include repairing or replacing panels and flooring, fitting a kitchen or a washroom, electrical testing and certification, refitting fixtures, and repainting to your chosen colour. Not every unit needs every stage — the quote sets out what we are doing to yours.

Can you fit a kitchen in a cabin?

Yes, kitchen fit-outs are regular work. A cabin kitchen means base and wall units, a worktop, a sink and drainer, a water heater, power, lighting and hard-wearing flooring. We put a kitchen area into an office or welfare unit, build a full canteen kitchen, or bring an existing one back to standard.

Can you reconfigure a cabin to my spec?

Yes. We add partitions, kitchens, toilets, showers, sinks, heating and lighting, and can combine functions such as office-plus-welfare or canteen-plus-washroom in a single unit.

Do you refurbish cabins I already own?

We can. We only take units in on our own transport, so we collect it from you, do the work at our Manchester workshop and deliver it back — the collection and return are quoted with the work.

Do you do washroom and toilet refurbishment?

Yes, and it is regular work. A washroom or toilet refurbishment means new sanitaryware, cubicles and non-slip flooring, the wet areas stripped back, re-tanked and re-sealed, and the plumbing and electrics tested and certified. Anti-vandal washrooms and container toilets are included.

Can you refurbish a changing room or drying room?

Yes. Changing room refurbishment covers new bench seating, hooks, hanging rails and locker fixings, hard-wearing flooring, repainting, and shower and toilet areas re-sealed and refitted where the unit has them. A drying room is the same shell fitted out for wet kit — rails, hooks and heating. Popular with sports clubs and site compounds bringing an older block back into use.

How long does a refurbishment take?

It varies with the unit and the scope. A repaint and light refit is a shorter job than a full washroom strip-out or a reconfiguration involving partitions and new services. We give you a date when we quote, and tell you if parts are the constraint.
