Repairing scratches, tears and creases

This is the most common type of damage to photos, mainly from handling over the years. Images get folded, torn and scratched. Our restoration service can digitally repair all those crease marks, tears and scratches.

Pricing depends on the amount of damage, how detailed the image is and also the size of the original or amount of enlargement. A crease over a simple section of sky is a breeze compared to a tear through several faces on a group photo.

A typical type of photo we get that’s yellowed with age and has crease damage along with missing corners. This comes under our Advanced level restoration given the uneven fading and crease over one of the faces.

Lost corner of a damaged picture is digitally rebuilt

missing bits restored
photo with corner gone
One of our main techniques involves painting with photos whereby we sample the good parts of a picture to rebuild the lost or damaged areas. As you can see here we’ve used the wooden boards from the right side in making a new corner on the left.

Portrait photo with an eye missing

portrait with eye missing
A tricky photo to repair as one of the eyes is missing. We were able to use the “good” eye to recreate this missing piece along with repairing the other damage to the photo.

Customer Testimonials

Thank you very much for the speedy, efficient service provided. The photograph is 100% better without the ugly background that was in it originally.
Sue HathawayDoncaster
After losing my wife recently I was going through her things and saw the spare passport photos from a few years ago. It was a nice photo, a bit scatched and dog eared, but it was from before she had been ill. I thought that it was a pity it was so small as it would have made a nice keep sake if I could frame it, if only I could get it enlarged. Surely that can’t be possible without a negative I thought, so I googled the question and came…

I am absolutely overwhelmed with the quality of the reproduction of two of my old photos. One from 1900’s on a metal plate, and another from WW1, both in pretty poor shape with scratches and fading. Gareth has worked a miracle, yet again. I would not hesitate in recommending his work to anyone. Fabulous! Thank you!
Meriel BestKnaresborough
One of my favourite photographs of an Uncle who passed away recently. Thank you so much for the prints I received. I had an original photograph with 2 creases on it. I am amazed how perfect it looks. I would recommend anyone to use this service. Well done!
Mrs S CairnsSouth Yorkshire
100% happy with the results..amazing what you can do these days with technology! Would recommend to anyone looking to have a picture colour tinted. Another picture is definately on its way to yourselves sometime this week and will use time and time again for old pictures that need restoring or if I would like a picture background taken out etc. Thanks again.
