What Affects Restoration Price?
- Extent of damage. Light dust and fading is quick; severe tears, missing sections, and water or mould damage take far longer.
- Number of subjects. Restoring several faces or a group photo adds detailed work.
- Colourisation. Converting black-and-white photos to colour, or hand-colouring, is a specialised add-on.
- Source quality. A clear scan restores faster than a low-resolution or badly faded original.
