About Image Restore


Photo restoration and retouching is a service at Image-Restore founded in 2007, where old photographs are digitally restored by a full time, professional photo retoucher. Faded images with tears or crease lines, mould damaged or tape marks, skin and faces can all be retouched or restored. Negatives or prints or slides can be sent in or a scanned image by email.

Free estimates are available for photo repair / retouching before any work is carried out and a free print is included with each restoration and print order. Digital only order can also be catered for. This is a family run business, which considers no job too small.

You can find many other reviews on TrustPilot and our Google business page.

I restore and colourise archival photographs and footage for broadcast documentaries. Production companies such as Woodcut Media trust me with high-profile series on Channel 4 and Channel 5. I turn damaged black and white material into clean, naturally coloured images that sit comfortably in a modern programme. Including archival footage for the Channel 4 series The Race for Ancient Egypt in Colour, the Channel 5 special The Three Kings of 1936, Britain’s Railway Empire in Colour. And latest project The Space Race in Colour!

Absolutely 1st. Class service from start to finish (even with the Royal Mail as it stands! ). Am delighted with the restored photo of my grandfather next to a Handley page 0400. During the 1st. WW @1917 The photo only recently came to me through a family member. And I was thrilled to discover its existence, now magnificently restored by"Image Restore".

I submitted a very faded photograph which had been taken in 1936. The restored copy is fantastic we could not be more pleased and certainly recommend Image Restore.

Delighted with how Neil restored a very faded photo of my Victorian great great grandmother. Bought her back to life beautifully.

I have used Neil Rhodes service several times, obviously the quality of service has always been outstanding because I've always returned. On this latest occasion the service has been beyond his normal quality, his patience in helping me has been beyond what you can expect as good service. I have no hesitation in stating that you can give Neil a job to do knowing that you'll be delighted with the result.

Neil restored my parents wedding photos that were 60 years old. My father sadly passed away 2 weeks before their 60th wedding anniversary, So it was something special for my mum. He did the most wonderful work and they are just perfect, they look like the photos were taken yesterday. Would highly recommend Neil.

This was the second time that I have used Image Restore and I find everything that Neil Rhodes does professionally to be first class. He restored a badly damaged historic photograph and had it re-printed and this time he removed my former wife from a professionally taken family image and each time I have been extremely impressed. Take the plunge and use his services as you will certainly not be disappointed and I cannot speak highly enough about him. Brilliant and thank you.

Prompt contact came after my posting the items with clear indication of possible work and charges. The copies were produced quickly thereafter and proofs sent to me. They were of high quality. The principals arrived in the post very soon afterwards. The quality of those is superb. They look like photographs taken yesterday instead of in 1899 and the 1930's.

I sent some precious but extremely faded family photographs to Neil to see what he could do with them. The transformation was extraordinary - I had no idea it was possible to bring them back to life like that. I was stunned! .

A mixed group of photographs of 2 paintings and 3 photographs from 1899, 1905 and circa 1900 were all enhanced to an excellent standard. They have been received by Hurst Bowling Club members with many plaudits. Thank you, Neil, for your patient preliminary work and outstanding technical result.
Response : Thank you for such kind words. It means a lot that the mix of paintings and photographs came together well for the whole club, and I really enjoyed piecing it together.

Copying of 2 B and W photos from 1928 both suffering from damp damage and one stuck to the glass of it's frame. Very good results with lots of consultation as the process proceeded until we got it right. A fast, high quality service with very good communications with human being, sadly such an unusual thing in British business today.
Response : Thank you. Im glad the process felt like we were working on it together. Really pleased everything came out well in the end.

Just a great service from start to finish. I have utilised Neil’s service several times and never been disappointed. This time a family gathering picture taken 40 years ago and a picture of my beautiful mother before I was even thought of. Totally reliable.

Wow! I am lost for words on what a fantastic job Image Restore made of my old b/w photo I sent in for restoration and colourisation. Neil is very professional, responsive and replied to e-mails promptly, keeping me updated throughout every step of the process. I will definitely be making use of their services again in the very near future. Thank you Neil. A***.
Response : Thank you so much, really glad the restoration and colourisation lived up to what you were hoping for. I enjoyed working on it and keeping you in the loop along the way. Looking forward to helping again.

Neil did an excellent job on a seriously degraded photo of a WW2 bomber. He did the work from an iPhoto that I took which was good enough for the detail. I also provided links to Halifax bomber nose art to assist with the aircraft for his restoration. He has a tight turn around time and delivers images and prints quickly.
Response : Thank you, that Halifax nose art was genuinely useful for getting the aircraft details right, so glad it helped pull the restoration together.

Neil was amazing! He took a microfiche copy of a newspaper photograph that was over 100 years old and made it look like it was taken yesterday.

Delighted with the result by Neil Rhodes at Image Restore. The colouration achieved from the sepia original and the reduction of fully lost photo section by reducing foreground was excellent. Neil does not have the wherewithal to print on other standard sizes (American) so I had to compromise and have the group portrait of my army unit trimmed and framed elsewhere. Neil’s work on the actual portrait is very good.

Neil provides an excellent service, quick, clear and very high quality. He printed me a new photo in place of one I had carelessly sliced. I couldn't tell where the 'join' was. Highly recommended.
