Restoration of your precious memories, damaged photos professionally restored.

Tributes

We are always amazed at how much detail there can be in a photo. If entrusted to the right hands, old faded and damaged photographs can be restored to their former glory rediscovering details you thought were lost or in some cases didn't even know existed.

Even if they have been torn like the example to the right, soiled or partially eaten by silverfish, we can help you save your precious memories. All the work is carried out in house by an experienced photo artist who has a passion about restoration.

Do you have a photograph where you would like someone included in it? If so, you can send that photo together with a photo of the person you would like added, and we will work our magic.

If you are tired of black and white photos, and would like to see a brighter, fresh hand tinted look, let us bring those old Sepias or Black & Whites to life.

Improvements to blurry photos can also be made, however, they will never be perfect.

At the end of the restoration process your original photo will be returned to you together with an equal sze print of the restored image and copies of the photo both before and after on a CD by Registered delivery.

We are pleased to provide FREE photo fixing on any photo you supply which is
to be used with your cards.

This free service includes:
Removing dust, marks and simple scratches,
Colour cast removal for a black and white photo or colour correction for a colour photo.
Removal of background if appropriate,
and generally improving the overall appearance of your image.

Where more extensive fixing is requested, or fixing of a photo for a special gift as in
some of our examples shown here, price guides can be found below.
