Photo restoration
Restoration, with a free assessment first
Tears, creases, fading, water damage and missing corners — repaired by hand, digitally, from a high-resolution scan. Your original is never altered, and you always know the cost before we begin.
How pricing works
$90 per hour, billed in 15-minute increments with a minimum of 15 minutes per photo. Before any paid work, you get a free visual assessment: we tell you what's achievable, how long it will take, and the exact cost. No bill shock — you approve every photo individually.
What we repair
| Tears & creases | Rips, fold lines, missing corners rebuilt from surrounding detail. |
| Fading & colour loss | Contrast and tone recovered; colourisation of black-and-white prints on request. |
| Water & mould damage | Staining and blooming reduced or removed where the underlying image survives. |
| Scratches & spots | Surface wear, silvering and foxing cleaned up without plastic-smooth over-processing. |
Our standard is honest restoration — the photograph as it was, not an AI reinvention of someone's face. Every restoration is reviewed and finished by hand.
Turnaround
Typically 2–3 weeks after the assessment is approved. Restoration pairs naturally with tribute videos where the only photos available are damaged ones.
