redoing
Tackling it again
Redoing is doing something again, typically because the first attempt was unsatisfactory: I spent the weekend redoing the bathroom tile.
The word implies effort already expended—you redo work, not tasks you haven't started.
Sometimes redoing suggests improvement rather than correction: They're redoing the kitchen with modern appliances.
