Duplicate code is one of the most pungent code smells. A rule that is often used is to re-structure code once it is duplicated in three or more places.
Common duplication problems, and corresponding solutions are:

Change the type-hint for the parameter:
Add an additional type-check:
Add the method to the interface:
