Welding and repairs for the things that broke.
Cracked alloy boat hulls, bent trailer drawbars, split toolboxes, broken gates, worn farm gear and the odd job that no one else wants. TIG and MIG welding in aluminium, stainless and mild steel, done properly in the Patumahoe workshop.
What we repair
If it is metal and it broke, start here.
Repairs are a normal part of a fabrication workshop's week. We look at why it broke, weld it so it stays fixed, and reinforce it where the original design was the problem.
Trailer & ute repairs
Drawbars, A-frames, cross-members, tray floors, canopy doors and toolbox hinges, repaired and strengthened.
Gates, rails & farm gear
Broken gate hinges, bent handrails, yard gear, feeders and implement frames welded back to work.
Stainless & kitchen repairs
Split sink welds, bench legs, hood seams and trolley frames repaired to a hygienic finish.

Questions
Common questions about aluminium and stainless welding repairs.
Can you weld my aluminium boat?
Yes. Cracked hulls, transoms, pontoons and rails are regular jobs. Bring the boat on its trailer; we weld it, test it and tell you if something else is about to go.
Do you do on-site repairs?
Mostly the job comes to the workshop, which gives a better weld and a lower price. For fixed items like gates, rails and yard gear we can come to you across Franklin.
Is it worth repairing?
Usually. A weld repair is a fraction of a replacement, and we will say so if the item is beyond it or a new one would be cheaper.
