Restoring old photos

Hi,
I recently found a really old photo of family members no longer with us but its really badly damages with pieces worn away from it.
I,d really love to have it restored back to how it was--and was just quoted £80+ , as there is a lot of work to be done on it,

Thats out of my reach but i do understand theres a lot of work to be done--i was wondering if anyone could suggest anything else or knows of a firm who does this type of thing for a reasonable cost?

    to do it properly is a reasonably skilled job with some expensive overheads

    I would certainly want £30+ per hour to do this kind of work, and it can take many hours.
