Prices - February 2010

10% off print prices if you order more than one copy of the same print. The discount will also apply to re-orders.

To copy and supply a print up to 5" x 7" including a small amount of correction and re-touching can cost as little as £15 with additional copies from only £5-27 (not inc. postage).

Restoration is charged by the hour and the time taken will vary from print to print. Repairs to faces in particular can be very difficult and time consuming while backgrounds are often much easier to retouch.

Some small blemishes and dust marks are corrected free of charge as part of the copying process.

It is impossible to quote an accurate price without first seeing the original. Some repairs may only take 5 or 10 minutes and a lot can be accomplished in half an hour. Complex restoration, particularly of facial features or re-building missing areas, will take longer.

Estimates are completely free of charge, we will even pay the return postage if you choose not to accept our quotation. Just send us your print, carefully packaged following the instructions which can be found by clicking here.

You may be pleasantly surprised. What seems like a major disaster to you, could be a routine repair for us.

As a rough guide:

Minor - Simple restorations, including small cracks or tears expect £5 to £10.

Moderate - Several significant marks or creases, missing corner or minor repairs to main features, typically £15 to £35.

Major - For photographs needing a considerable amount of skilled restoration with damage to faces or other significant areas £40+

Hand Colouring - Subtle hand colouring or tinting (1940's style) - from about £15. Many other effects can be applied.

Other Possibilities...... People can be removed from groups, added to groups, individual portraits produced from group shots, backgrounds changed or simply "cleaned up" etc. etc. A lot depends on the quality of the original photograph. Just ask.
