Rust & Weld Repairs in Wollongong & the Illawarra
Rusted gate, cracked weld or bent frame? We look at the actual damage first, and often it can be repaired without a full replacement.
Common Repair Jobs
Rusted Gates & Fences
Cutting out the bad steel, welding in sound metal and re-finishing so the rust does not just come back.
Cracked Welds
Old or failed welds on frames, rails and brackets, repaired properly.
Bent or Damaged Metalwork
Steel that has been hit, bent or sagged, straightened or rebuilt where it makes sense.
Rails & Balustrade Repairs
Loose posts and rails made solid again, with safety checked before we leave.
Repair or Replace?
Replacing a gate or rail is not always the answer. If the frame is sound and the damage is localised, a repair is usually the cheaper and quicker option. If the steel is rotted through or the design was never right, we will say so and quote a replacement instead.
As a rough guide, simple weld repairs can be as low as $150–$900, and gate repairs typically run $400–$2,200 depending on the extent of the damage and materials. Most repairs are done onsite: see mobile welding. For a new gate or rail, see gates, handrails & balustrades.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can you repair a rusted gate instead of replacing it?+
Often yes. We assess the real damage before recommending a full replacement. Rust repair and weld repairs are common jobs that do not need a whole new gate.
Will the rust come back?+
Rust returns if the steel is not prepared and finished properly. We cut back to sound metal and finish the repair so it lasts. Near the coast, stainless steel is worth considering for new parts.
How much does a repair cost?+
Simple weld repairs can be as low as $150–$900. Gate repairs typically run $400–$2,200 depending on damage and materials. The estimate tool below gives a closer number.
Do you come to me?+
