retie
Fasten once more
To retie is to tie something again, typically a knot, bow, or fastening that has come undone or needs adjustment: She stopped to retie her shoelace.
The word implies a previous tying that requires redoing—you retie a necktie that's crooked or retie a package whose ribbon has loosened.
