More work repairing high-class patio (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

utopia

'more work' is the definition.
(work by Sir Thomas More)

'repairing high-class patio' is the wordplay.
'repairing' is an anagram indicator (the order is repaired).
'high class' becomes 'U' (as in U and non-U speech).
'u'+'patio'='upatio'
'upatio' anagrammed gives 'UTOPIA'.

(Other definitions for utopia that I've seen before include "impossible to find" , "Sir Thomas More's perfect country" , "More's ideal world" , "Eden" , "Sir Thomas More's perfect place" .)

I've seen this clue in The Globe and Mail.
