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.

Lost corner of a damaged picture is digitally rebuilt

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

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

Just a quick note to say our order has arrived promptly, and I am very impressed with the work your team have done, the photo has been resurrected from being useless to becoming once again something which I know my mother-in-law will be extremely pleased with, as am I. The quality of the restoration is amazing, I am so pleased that you could help with what I was afraid was an impossible task. I cannot tell you how pleased we are.

The pictures arrived today and everyone was gobsmacked at how perfect they looked. Thank you so much for such a fast and friendly service. The lady whose picture it was was thrilled to have it back better than before. Again, many thanks.
