re-laying
Installing floor anew
Re-laying is laying something again.
The hyphen distinguishes it from relaying (passing along): The workers are re-laying the tile that buckled versus She's relaying a message.
Floors, cables, pipes, and tracks are commonly re-laid when the original installation fails or needs updating.
