Jeopardised repair with expert (7)

I believe the answer is:

menaced

'jeopardised' is the definition.
('menace' can be a synonym of 'jeopardize')

'repair with expert' is the wordplay.
'repair' becomes 'mend' ('mend' can be a synonym of 'repair').
'with' indicates putting letters inside.
'expert' becomes 'ace' (ace is a kind of expert).
'mend' placed around 'ace' is 'MENACED'.

(Another definition for menaced that I've seen is " Threatened".)

I've seen this clue in The Mirror.
