Like the nasty fault he corrected (7)

I believe the answer is:

hateful

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'like the nasty' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this defines the answer.

'fault he corrected' is the wordplay.
'corrected' indicates an anagram.
'fault'+'he'='faulthe'
'faulthe' is an anagram of 'HATEFUL'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for hateful that I've seen before include "Loathsome" , "Abhorrent" , "repellent" , "Detestable" , "Dreadful" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
