Renovated to some extent, like Humpty Dumpty (5)

I believe the answer is:

ovate

'like humpty dumpty' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

'renovated to some extent' is the wordplay.
'to some extent' indicates the answer is hidden within the clue.
'OVATE' is hidden within 'renovated'.

(Other definitions for ovate that I've seen before include "Elliptical" , "Like Humpty Dumpty" , "Egg-shaped; Welsh bard" , "applaud enthusiastically?" , "philosopher" .)

I've seen this clue in The Daily Mail.
