What does RETILE mean in Scrabble?
verb
To lay new tiles on a surface, replacing or covering the tiles that were there before.
People retile a bathroom, a kitchen splashback or a roof when the old tiles are cracked, outdated or damaged by water, and the job usually starts with stripping the surface bare before the new tiles go down. Retiling differs from a first tiling job only in that a layer already exists and must be removed or covered, which adds demolition and cleanup to the work. Home renovation guides use the word constantly because retiling a shower or floor is one of the most common weekend projects homeowners take on. A professional who retiles for a living will also check the subfloor or wall backing for damage before starting, since old tiles often hide problems underneath.
How RETILE is used
Common in home improvement and construction contexts, used for both do-it-yourself projects and professional renovation work.
