    Terrible.

    Posted 5 days ago

    Awful experience. He left the job unfinished after realising it would take a lot more time (and money) than he said it would. (Still charged me 2/3 the original amount.) The worst thing is that he put masking tape on the walls, and when I took it off, all the paint came off in huge stripes in two rooms. I so wish I hadn't hired him.

    Response from JP Paint & Repairs

    I do think it’s a slight embellishment to what happened. You asked me to see what I could do in half a day. About 3 and half hours in we discussed this would take more time and more paint stripper. Although you were happy with what was done in that time, you wanted to continue yourself. I suggested just paying 2 hours plus materials. You paid 2 hours and no materials. The tape was a Masq low tack masking tape and shouldn’t cause paint to peel. I asked to remove the tape when leaving but you insisted you’d do that. I assume the tape was stuck on for too long as you messaged me two day’s later

    Decorating hall

    Posted 23 July 2025

    Jay decorated our hall, stairs and landing. Jay was great to work with; he worked hard, offered advice and was extremely tolerant when we changed our minds about some aspects of the work. Jay regularly consulted with us and checked that we were happy with the work. We particularly appreciated how flexible Jay was in terms of doing other small jobs (in addition to the decorating) that we are unable to do ourselves. We would be very happy for Jay to do more work on our house. Thank you.
