Can I reenchant an already enchanted item?

Question

I've got some nice Dragonplate armour now and I was thinking about enchanting it with something nice. My enchantment skill is not maxed out though, so I will only be able to put some mediocre enchantments on the armour.

Can I put some weaker enchantment on it now and later, when I have better enchantment skill, replace the enchantment with something new? Or can I only enchant plain, non-magical items? Is there a way to unenchant an item?

Answer

You cannot replace enchantments.

It is better to wait until you have a high Enchanting skill before enchanting good equipment, unless you have materials to make another one. The Extra Effect perk (requires Enchanting 100 and at least three other perk points spent in Enchanting) allows you to place a second enchantment on each item, but you're still better off waiting until you can add two good enchantments rather than one good / one bad.
