Photographic Restoration

Perhaps you have some old photos that you’d love to dig out and frame. We can repair scratches, creases and stains, remove and repair tears, blemishes and red-eye, rebuild small missing areas, enlarge photographs (subject to the quality of original) and generally improve the overall quality of the photograph.

Images can be taken from negatives, photographs and digital files.

Prints can be produced up to 24” (610mm) wide (A1)

Photo restoration prices start from £32.50, including one print, for restoring and reproducing up to an A4 / 8x10 print, and reflect the level of restoration work required. Prints are supplied mounted to fit a standard photograph frame. Canvases are supplied stretched for framing or as finished box canvases to hang straight up on the wall.
