How Our Photo Restoration Service Works
Getting a photograph restored is straightforward. We'll assess your image first, explain what we believe can realistically be achieved and agree the cost with you before any restoration work begins.
1. Send Us Your Image
Send us a clear digital copy or photograph of the image you'd like restored. You can initially take a good-quality photo with your phone if you don't already have a digital version.
2. We Assess the Photograph
We'll examine the image and let you know what restoration work we recommend, what we believe can realistically be achieved and how much it will cost. There is no obligation to proceed.
3. We Carry Out the Restoration
Once you're happy to proceed, we'll carefully restore the digital image, concentrating on the agreed areas of damage while keeping the finished photograph looking as natural as possible.
4. Review Your Restored Photograph
For more involved restorations, we'll send you a draft to review before the work is finalised. Once you're happy with the result, we'll supply your completed high-quality digital image.
What Can and Can't Be Restored
Digital restoration can achieve remarkable improvements, but the result will always depend on the information remaining in the original photograph. Fading, scratches, creases, stains and many damaged areas can often be repaired very successfully. However, if important detail has been completely lost - for example, a face that is severely blurred or entirely missing - it may not be possible to recreate it accurately.
We would rather be realistic about what can be achieved than promise a result that won't look natural. We'll always assess your photograph first and let you know what we believe is possible before you decide whether to proceed.
Photo Restoration FAQs
Can you restore a damaged original photograph?
Yes. Our restoration work is carried out digitally, so we don't physically alter or repair your original photograph. If you send the original to us, we can scan it first and then restore the digital image. Your original photograph remains unchanged and will be returned to you.
How do I send you a photograph for restoration?
If you already have a good-quality digital image, you can send it to us electronically for assessment. Alternatively, you can send us the original photograph and we will scan it before carrying out the restoration. If you're unsure which option is best, please contact us and we'll be happy to advise.
How much does photo restoration cost?
Photo restoration starts from £10, but the final cost depends on the condition of the photograph and the amount of work required. We'll assess your image first and let you know what can realistically be achieved and the price before any restoration work begins. There is no obligation to proceed.
Can you improve a blurred or poor-quality photograph?
Sometimes. It depends on the original image and the reason for the poor quality. We may be able to improve contrast, colour, fading, marks and some loss of detail, but a severely blurred or out-of-focus photograph cannot always be fully corrected. We'll assess the image first and let you know what we believe can realistically be achieved.
