WHAT WILL IT COST?
Naturally the cost will depend on the degree of restoration required. The table below will give you an idea of what to expect (We will let you know the exact cost once we have seen your photos). Appraisal is free and entirely without obligation so there are never any unpleasant surprises. Once we receive your pictures we will advise you of the cost. If you decide not to proceed - for whatever reason - we will return your pictures at our expense. If you are happy with the price we will send an invoice which can be paid securely online. (UK clients can also pay by cheque, cash or bank transfer). If you decide not to proceed at this stage we will return your photos.
HOW IT WORKS
Old photographs and documents are usually very precious to their owners - often there is only one copy in existence. That's why the very first step in our process is to make a high resolution digital master from the original. The original is then placed for safe keeping in a pH neutral protective wallet.
Once restored, your original photographs are returned along with a CD, DVD or other digital medium, containing the restored high resolution digital images.
We can make prints and enlargements from your restored photos - up to poster size. (see below for prices).
For customers who prefer to scan their own photographs:
If you have access to a decent scanner you can join the growing number of clients worldwide who have discovered our no-frills 'Pro' photo restoration service. This Digital-Only service (no prints or CD/DVD) is perfect for Resellers, Photographers, Restoration services, Photographic retailers, Picture Framers etc. You simply download the restored images from a folder we create for you online.
NOTE: both services result in the same high standard professional restoration
