What kind of damage can you repair?

Fading and colour shift, tears and creases, water and mould marks, missing corners, sun bleaching and glass stuck to the surface. Send us a photo of the original first and we will tell you honestly what can be recovered.

How much does photo restoration cost?

It depends entirely on the damage, because the work is done by hand rather than by a filter. Upload a snap of the photo and you get a fixed price before any work starts.

Do I have to hand over the original?

Only if a phone photo is not good enough, which is often the case for fine detail. When you do bring it in, we scan it at the counter where we can and return it with your new prints.

How long does it take?

Most restorations are finished within a week. Complex rebuilds, badly torn photographs or several images at once take longer and we will give you a date when we quote.

Can you print the restored photo at a bigger size?

Yes. Once repaired we can print anywhere from a wallet copy for each relative up to a framed A2 piece for the wall.

What Cardiff customers order

One surviving copy

Most restorations we take on are the only photograph left of someone. We scan first, work on the copy and never touch the original.

Funerals and memorials

Orders of service and memorial frames need a quick turnaround. Tell us the date when you upload and we will work to it.

Colour brought back

Prints from the seventies and eighties that have gone pink or orange are rebalanced by eye, not by a slider, so skin tones look right again.

Big family reprints

Once a photo is repaired we can print a set for every relative, with the price per print dropping as the quantity goes up.
