Replace damaged fabric (7)

I believe the answer is:

percale

'fabric' is the definition.
(percale is a kind of fabric)

'replace damaged' is the wordplay.
'damaged' is an anagram indicator.
'replace' is an anagram of 'PERCALE'.

(Other definitions for percale that I've seen before include "Fine cotton fabric often used for bed covers" , "Cotton fabric used for sheets" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
