Repairing damaged nightcap (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

patching

'repairing' is the definition.
(patching is a kind of repairing)

'damaged nightcap' is the wordplay.
'damaged' is an anagram indicator.
'nightcap' is an anagram of 'PATCHING'.

(Other definitions for patching that I've seen before include "Mending" , "Nightcap (anag)" .)
