    The missus was cleaning some cooking oil that splashed on the wall beside the cooker & rubbed the paint off. When I say paint its more like a spray on job than the stuff that comes from a tin
    Would this be easy to fix? Would I be able to buy the same stuff?

    That will happen with most cheap emulsion. You pay extra for wipeable paint.

    You could try patching it up with a tester of the same colour if you know it... But even if you get the same brad/colour it may still be noticeable - best job would be to re-paint - but if its rented a patch up might be your best bet.

    Yeah its rented, will try patching with a tester first before going ahead
    Is emulsion applied with a brush or roller?

    It can be applied with either.
    You'd generally use a roller for a wide area - its quicker and gives an even finish.
    And you'd use a brush for "cutting in" the edges near the ceiling and skirting as its more accurate.
    For you - the area doesnt sound to be too big - if you have a brush handy id say use it. If you want you could use a small roller either.
