Sent a damaged photo which took a while to get there (Royal Mail). Neil got it on the Monday, by Wednesday he had restored it and after paying I received a digital copy then on the Friday the prints arrived. Wife was overjoyed great fast service.

I had an old photo which was faded, not well framed, and marred by a shadowy line across part. After an initial hiccup with the system and delivery of the photo Neil responded very quickly with a proof for assessment. The cost was, to my mind, very reasonable, and after payment the corrected image was sent to me the same day. I am delighted with the process and result, and will have no hesitation in using Neil in the future.

Neil restored an old postcard type photo for us for a Christmas gift. The restored photo looks great. Neil helped my scan the postcard and he transformed it within a couple of hours. Would recommend his services.

This company was recommended to me. I sent a 2001 digital photo I needed improving, staying that it needed to be a subtle clean up that maintained the 'authenticity' of the photo. They replied promptly and quoted £25. The work they did was exactly what I wanted and was completed quickly. I'd happily recommend the company for their courtesy, efficiency and attention to detail.

I hadn't believed it would be possible to restore the photo of my grandfather taken in the early 1880s wearing the uniform of the Birmingham Blue Coat School. The photo had been badly torn, scrached anthe bottom right area qas missing Neil has restored it perfectly and the colours are exact I thought the cost qas very reasonable and the turn round quick. I shall certainly use his services again.

I sent in a scan of an old photo that had faded significantly after years of sun exposure and asked if it could be restored. Neil brought it back beautifully, and the whole process took less than a day - just a few hours, really. I also ordered prints, and they turned out great. Highly recommended.
Response : Many thanks for your review. What may have felt like just a few hours actually took place over the course of the day, but I’m glad it seemed so quick for you. Everything fell into place perfectly with your order. I’m pleased I could help and that your experience was a positive one.

I asked for an old photo of my brother and his dog to be repaired and enhanced. Everything was completed to my satisfaction and I received both a digital and hard copy of the photograph. I received an email telling me that the repaired photo had been posted and I received it shortly after that. Really good service - would recommend.

We reached out to Neil to restore and enlarge an old photo but were not really expecting it to be possible. We are absolutely thrilled with the results. Perfect! Thank you Neil.
Response : So glad to have helped on such an interesting project. I hope the custom colouring restoration will keep that memory alive!

This is the second time I have used Neil Rhodes to restore old photographs and again I am thrilled with the results. The cost was more than worth the emotional value of these images. Neil's communications were speedy and effective. I cannot recommend this service highly enough to anyone wanting their precious old photos restored.

I asked for an old black + white photograph of a school rugby team to be recolourised and I was very pleased with the outcome, The complex image contained multiple figures and I only required 1 edit on the proof copy sent before accepting the final png file + colour prints. I would highly reccommend Neil to anyone considering digital enhancement of their old monotone photographs.
Response : Thank you for kind words, glad i could help!

Neil was just excellent, I enquired in relation to Photo restoration service where I received a quick response and quote with a proof provided to ensure I was happy. Payment was also quick and easy with being able to pay via PayPal after receiving my invoice. The quality and outcome, I couldn’t be more happy with and would recommend image restore in the future.

Kind, helpful and efficient, Neil was able to save precious, faded photographs of much-loved family members. He provides a terrific service, which I plan on using again in the future - highly recommended.

I asked Neil to help me with some photographs from my daughter’s wedding. The dark colours were very blotchy. Neil quickly diagnosed the problem and suggested solutions. In addition I asked him to recolour one of the photographs which I particularly liked and the result was amazing. Neil was very patient with my lack of knowledge and helped me choose the right solution for me. The cost was extremely reasonable, service excellent and the quality of the results first class. So 5 stars in every category. Thank you Neil.
Response : Thank you for your kind review. I hope those memories are now fresh in your mind again. :).

I had a 100 year old photo of a family wedding which was broken in two and daces were not clear because of the darkness of the picture. Image restore did a brilliant job in removing any sign of the break and in bringing a new clarity to the image. A great job done quickly and their charges were very reasonable, especially given the quality of the finished article they produced.
