refelt

Replace table cloth

To refelt is to replace or renew the felt covering on something—typically a pool table, piano hammers, or a roof.

Pool tables periodically need refelting when the playing surface becomes worn or torn: We had the table refelted before the tournament.

The word follows the standard pattern of re- prefix verbs indicating restoration or repetition.
