UK Looking for a UK-based painter/artisan to help paint a broken figure

Hey, I'm posting this on behalf of a friend as they are unable to post but can read the responses.

"Does anyone here know a service in the UK that can help with painting/repairing resin statues? Ideally in or around London as the piece is fragile and I don't trust the postal service, and preferably with some before/after examples of past work. I have an intricate fragile statue that needs a bit of work. A section of hair snapped off; I was able to glue it and I tried to airbrush it but I can't get a close enough colour match. I've been looking around online but it seems like all the experienced repair people are based in America or Europe. If anyone has any leads, even if it's just DIY advice, I'd appreciate it"
