retile

Replace bathroom flooring

To retile is to replace or install new tiles on a surface that was previously tiled.

The term applies to floors, walls, roofs, bathrooms, and kitchens: We're retiling the bathroom next month.

The prefix re- indicates doing the job again, usually because the original tiles are damaged, outdated, or worn.
