Restored & ColourisedIf you’ve been looking for somewhere in Dublin to restore an old family photograph, you don’t need to find a shop or send your precious original away in the post. Professional restoration is done digitally now, so the city your editor sits in makes no difference to the result. Photo Repair Lab puts that same digital restoration directly in your hands.
Scan the photo (or take a careful, well-lit phone photo of it), upload it, and our AI repairs the damage in under a minute. Your original never leaves your hands, and the restored file is yours to print at any Dublin photo lab, share with family, or have framed.
Ireland is full of irreplaceable family history — communion and wedding portraits, emigration photographs, faded prints rescued from a relative’s attic. Our AI is trained specifically on old and damaged photographs, so it handles fading, foxing, silvering, cracks, water staining and mild tears while keeping faces and period detail faithful to the original.
Want to see great-grandparents in colour for the first time? Comprehensive Restoration repairs the photo and applies natural, historically-plausible colour in the same pass.
A Dublin retoucher typically charges €30–€120 per photo with a multi-day turnaround. Photo Repair Lab starts at roughly €1 per photo and finishes in under a minute — and every new account gets 20 free credits, so you can restore your first photo before paying anything. Failed jobs are automatically refunded, so you only ever pay for results you keep.
