Delete our costs for repair (5,3)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

cross out

'delete' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

'our costs for repair' is the wordplay.
'for repair' is an anagram indicator (the letters must be fixed).
'our'+'costs'='ourcosts'
'ourcosts' anagrammed gives 'CROSS OUT'.

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
