A lot bad, so a lot to repair (9)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

boatloads

'a lot' is the definition.
(a large amount)

'bad so a lot to repair' is the wordplay.
'to repair' indicates an anagram.
'bad'+'so'+'a'+'lot'='badsoalot'
'badsoalot' with letters rearranged gives 'BOATLOADS'.

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
