04 / The practical details
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.
