Spread extra plaster (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

artex

'plaster' is the definition.
(I know that Artex is a type of plaster)

'spread extra' is the wordplay.
'spread' indicates anagramming the letters.
'extra' anagrammed gives 'ARTEX'.

(Other definitions for artex that I've seen before include "what gives finish" , "Textured ceiling finish" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
