Great service Pleased with the results.
Paula Hunt
Three Legged Cross
We emailed Neil an image of a very old, badly damaged photo of my husband's grandfather in military uniform from WW1. There were creases and marks across the whole photo. I uploaded it following the easy instructions on Neil's website - to ensure the optimum scanned image. The result was absolutely amazing. Neil sent back a pristine photo that had no marks at all - it looked brand new. We also asked for two photos to be posted to us. This was all dealt with promptly, efficiently and with excellent customer service - as well as being cost effective. We can't recommend Neil highly enough and will certainly use his services again without hesitation.

I had three very old photographs which had faded badly restored to as they were when they were taken and can honestly say they are as good as new. Absolutely amazing work. Very happy with everything and cannot recommend highly enough. Brilliant.

I had an old and treasured photo of my parents, which had been damaged by water, restored by Image Restore. I thought they did a great job at a good price and would recommend their services.

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.
