FIX IT WITH FLAIR
Just a little while longer!
We know everyone who entered this year’s Fix it with Flair competition is dying to know who the winners are. Here’s the good news: we’re announcing the finalists in the December 2024/January 2025 issue of Tuis | Home! Get your copy out at a store near you from 15 November.
Last year, we were bowled over by the entries in the new sustainability category in our annual Fix it with Flair competition, so we’re doing it again!
“From tank to tap.”
Make that your mantra when you plan your next renovation. It makes good sense to tackle a makeover with the future in mind and water security at the top of your list.

And their range of products just keeps on growing – everything from super silent water pumps to wastewater recycling solutions are now part of their extended offering. So why wait?

THE FOUR CATEGORIES
Once you’ve decided which one best suits your project, submit your pics!
1. DIY
This one is for avid DIYers who take on 50% of the work themselves. So if knocking down walls or retiling doesn’t scare you, go for it! You’ll have to submit a budget breakdown and show what you did with your own two hands.
2. INNOVATION
If you fancy yourself an out-of-the-box thinker, this category is for you. It could be a mobile home, an outdoor kitchen – you name it! Whether you did it yourself or managed the project, feel free to enter your makeover here.
3. MOST BEAUTIFUL
If you’re all thumbs and have a fear of power tools but you oversaw a gorgeous renovation and paid for it, consider this option. Even if a contractor completed 100% of the physical work, you are eligible for this prize.
4. SUSTAINABILITY
This one celebrates forward-thinking plans that put the planet first. It could be a beautiful bathroom with toilets that flush with rainwater, or a natural pool conversion! Even if a contractor completed 100% of the physical work, you are eligible for this prize.
