Q. How to repair a CD disc?

Repairing a CD properly involves more than just cleaning — it requires a resurfacing process that gently buffs away imperfections. Our team uses dedicated CD and DVD restoration equipment designed to polish the disc evenly without altering the data layer. Once repaired, we can also digitise your audio or video files to a USB or cloud format, protecting them from future damage.

Q. How to repair scratched discs?

Scratched discs can often be restored if the damage is on the surface rather than the data layer. Light scratches can sometimes be polished out using professional-grade cleaning equipment. At Supaphoto, we use precision disc repair machines that remove fine surface scratches and restore readability to CDs, DVDs, Blu-rays, and game discs. We never recommend home remedies like toothpaste or household cleaners, as these can make the damage worse.

Q. How to repair a damaged disc?

The best way to repair a damaged disc depends on the type and extent of the damage. For scratches, our resurfacing machines can restore smoothness and readability. For cracked or broken discs, we assess whether recovery is possible — in some cases, the data can still be retrieved using specialised reading devices. Supaphoto's technicians are skilled in both disc repair and data recovery, ensuring the best possible result for your media.

Q. How much does it cost to repair a CD or DVD?

The cost depends on the type and level of damage. Light scratch repairs are very affordable, while deep resurfacing or data recovery may cost slightly more. We'll always confirm the price before beginning any work. The current prices section makes clear that the final cost depends on the condition of the item, the work required and any additional conversion or output options selected. Supaphoto's prices can be as low as £9.99. The exact total is confirmed against the options shown on this page before work proceeds.

Q. How much does disc repair cost?

The cost of disc repair service depends on the quantity, condition of the originals and the output or restoration options required.

Q. How should I package and send my discs for repair?

We recommend sending your discs in their original cases or in protective sleeves, placed inside a padded envelope or small box to prevent further scratching during transit. Be sure to include your order form and contact details. All discs sent to Supaphoto are handled with care, tracked, and returned in the same or improved condition.
