Photo restoration service, restoring old photos

First class service from beginning to end. Did not think the photo I sent could ever be put right, it was tiny and damaged, but thanks to the good workmanship at image restore it is as good as new and a very valuable memento of our family’s early days. I Would highly recommend this firm.

Neil carried out restoration on a badly faded colour picture which was in dutch national dress, not an easy task especially with the amount of colour fade. The other project was again in dutch national dress but converted to colour as the original was taken in B&W. The results were amazing and exceeded my expectation. During the whole process, Neil kept me informed and asked if the reconstruction process was to my satisfaction with the correct detailing. The service he provides quick efficient and timely. I would have no hesitation in recommending his services.

This is a fantastic service. Neil restored and colourized five photos, delivered proofs and then the final pictures in less than two days from my original enquiry. The quality is excellent and the price very reasonable. I tried other colourizing sites who were far more expensive and quoting months to do the work. Highly recommended!

I presented Image Restore with several old photos, two of which were so badly damaged that I held out no hope at all of a successful outcome. One photo had the date 1/08/1966 written on the back. It was a black and white snap of my husband with his old school and College friend – later to be his Best Man – and two other young men hanging out of a car, but it was so terribly defaced by yellow oil and deep folds and cracks that it was almost impossible to even see who the arms belonged to. The photo returned to me by Neil at Image Restore was an absolute revelation – 4 young men dressed up for a night out on the town, off up West to celebrate England winning the World Cup Final at Wembley the day before – a match which all 4 lads had attended. The photograph could have been taken yesterday – it was so fresh. I found the restoration work quite astonishingly good and I was so grateful to have been given back a bit of family history. The work done on all the other old photos – whether in colour or in black and white – was equally impressive, and I have no hesitation in recommending Neil and Image Restore to anyone out there who wants a good job done, quickly, competently and at a reasonable price.

Absolutely fab, really pleased with the results. The colour and clarity is amazing. Would certainly recommend you to anyone needing a photograph restored.

A damaged photograph that meant a great deal to me was expertly re-touched and copied.  I spoke with Neil who was very clear about what could and could not be achieved and the result surpassed my expectations. I would recommend this company’s services without hesitation.

Very prompt service and great quality outcome

I only had one photograph of my grandparents and that was a photograph of a photograph and it was lined and faded. I am absolutely delighted with the way in which Neil has restored this image and will treasure it. Very many thanks.

Restored two old family photographs (one taken c. 1898) ready for framing. Excellent service, the owner ensured that he understood my requirements and followed them exactly. Very satisfied with the results.

Thank you Neil, most helpful and extremely clever. Neil removed the sun light directly from the fish (which has become my PB) to help allow me to print the perfect photo for my memories.

Unbelievable restoration of a very old very faded photo. Very quick turn around as well. Thank you very much.

Excellent service, value, and quality, any questions I had were answered promptly I shall use IMAGE RESTORE again thank you

Neil has just replaced a portrait photo for me. The original was in a poor state, with significant silver mirroring and yellowing. His instructions for sending him a scan (rather than the original) were concise. The following day I received the replacement file for inspection. The mirroring was gone, the yellowing was gone and the image preserved. I received the print two days later. I am extremely satisfied with the result and do not believe it could have been done better. Neil is very well-informed, helpful and cooperative. His charges are modest. I shall not hesitate to ask for his help in the future.

What can I say , used image restore twice now and I am very pleased with the results. Have already recommended Neil to some of my friends

Very pleased with the results of the pictures l have sent to Neil. Very quick and easy to do business with. Would definitely use his service again.

Superb work and fast turnaround on improving a valued 1940s photograph of my aunt who is about to turn 80. Can’t wait to see the smile on her face when she sees the now coloured photo. Would thoroughly recommend this company’s work.

Neil kept me informed every step of the way whilst colouring two wedding photos, one from 1950 and the other a very ancient one from 1913! The results were just wonderful and I wouldn’t trust anyone other than Neil with old photos or negatives that you would like see brought back to life. 5 stars every time

A really great experience. A great job carried out quickly and efficiently. Would definitely recommend this company and will be my first choice always.

The value rating was high as more time was spent at no greater cost compared to other specialists I have used. The service is designed around achieving your expectations and keeping you informed. The quality of the restored photograph was such that it seemed to look how it should have looked when it was taken in 1945.

I have used Neil a few times now and have come to value his expertise and prompt service. This job was a badly faded colour print and a 50 year old black and white print of my father which had become scratched and stained. The end results for both were excellent.

I had several old photographs resorted. Some were over 50 years old. The color after the restoration was amazing: as good as the original color and probably will last a lot longer. I intend to send more color photographs to be restored to Image Restore when it is necessary to do so.

I asked Neil to restore two photographs that had badly faded and to cut half a head out of one of them. All through the process Neil kept on touch and made good recommendations regarding the final finish and size of the photographs.  Neil, I am very pleased indeed with the results, better than I expected. Thank you for a great job. I recommend anyone looking to have photographs restored to use Neil.

Super fast reply and a much improved image – thank you!

I have used image restore twice now and the service and the results were excellent. One of the photographs coloured from BW the other restored from a very old and badly cracked original. Family now looking for other old photos!
