I am delighted with the restoration of a 100-year-old photograph. The cost was very reasonable. The work was done quickly, and there was throughout excellent communication with Neil Rhodes.

Neil restored and turned an old black and white photo of my grandad in his RAF uniform from WW2 into colour. Very quick and responsive communication. Reasonably priced and really high quality finish. We're really impressed and my dad was over the moon! We wouldn't hesitate to recommend and use Neil's services again.
Response : Thank you so much. Colourising old black and white photos like this is a privilege, especially when there's such a personal story behind them. I hope your dad treasures it. Neil Rhodes Photo Restoration Image-restore. Co. Uk.

Neil worked his photo restoration service magic on a group of very old family photos that needed a lot of TLC so we could get them framed. He did an amazing job, and they probably now look much as they did when the photos were first taken at the turn of the 20th Century. Very reasonable and worth every penny. Shall definitely use Image-Restore again. Can’t praise Neil enough for his stunning work on our old and scratched, but treasured family photos. And all turned around in 24 hours. Can't say fairer than that!
Response : Thank you! Old family photos like these are irreplaceable so it's always a joy to bring them back to life ready for framing. Really glad the turnaround worked for you too. Neil Rhodes Photo Restoration image-restore. Co. Uk.

My wife found a photograph in our loft, it was dusty and had suffered heat damage. It was the image of her mother as a child taken in C1909. We had doubts that it could be effectively restored. It was so delicate that we decided to deliver it by hand to "Image Restore". We drove 26 miles to hand over the photograph to Neil the proprietor of "Image Restore". We waited 10 minutes and the photo was handed back to us, Neil having scanned it. Within two days proofs were e-mailed to us. We were astounded at the quality and clarity of the picture and when the actual print was delivered to us via Royal Mail three days later we were even more impressed. The photo could have been taken yesterday, you would never have believed that the image was 116 years old. Thank you Neil, it was magic.Moreexpand_more
Response : Thank you both so much, and what a photo to work on. A 116 year old image with heat damage is always a challenge but that's what makes it rewarding. Worth every one of those 26 miles! Neil Rhodes Photo Restoration Hampshire - Image-restore. Co. Uk.

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.
Response : Thank you so much. Restoring damaged old military photos like this is work I really care about — a WW1 uniform portrait deserves to be preserved properly. Glad the prints arrived safely too. Neil Rhodes Photo Restoration, Hampshire, Image-Restore. Co. Uk.

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.

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.
Response : Thank you! Sorry for the initial hiccup but really glad we got there and you're happy with the finished result. Faded and damaged photo restoration is always rewarding when it comes together. Neil Rhodes Photo Restoration, Image-Restore. Co. Uk.
