bodge job
Hasty, careless fix
A bodge job is a hasty, clumsy, or makeshift repair—something done poorly or with inadequate materials.
British in origin, often interchangeable with botch job: The plumber did a bodge job on the pipes and now they're leaking again.
The term implies work that technically functions but won't hold up or looks shoddy.
