Welding in Craiova

About this service

Welding is an essential process in construction, outdoor work, and metal repairs, used to durably join metals. A skilled welder makes gates and metal fences, railings and stairs, structures and sheds, custom metalwork, as well as repairs to machinery, trailers, or wrought-iron elements. Services can include welding steel, stainless steel, or aluminium, in the workshop or directly on site. Quality welding means strong, crack-free, cleanly finished joints. An experienced specialist chooses the process suited to the material and thickness of the piece. On SmallJobs you'll find welders and metalworkers with real reviews.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can the welder work on-site or do I need to bring parts to the workshop?

Many welders on SmallJobs have portable equipment and can work on-site (at home, on a construction site). Fine detail work or complex fabrications are usually done at the workshop.

How much does a metal stair railing cost?

A simple metal railing costs 200-500 RON/lm for labor, plus materials. For a standard one-floor staircase (approximately 5 lm), total cost can be 1,500-3,500 RON including materials.

How long does it take a welder to fabricate a custom gate?

Fabricating a simple gate (no complex ornaments) takes 1-3 days in the workshop, plus 2-4 hours for transport and installation. Ornamental or large gates may take longer.

Is finishing needed after welding?

Yes, after welding the standard steps are grinding (weld bead finishing), anti-corrosion priming, and painting with outdoor-grade paint. These steps are essential for durability and appearance.

Can aluminum be welded?

Yes, aluminum is welded using the TIG process, by a qualified welder. Aluminum welding is more challenging than steel and requires specialized equipment and consumables.

How do I protect a metal gate or fence from rust?

Welded metal should be primed with anti-corrosion primer and painted with alkyd or epoxy exterior paint. Repainting is recommended every 5-7 years or at the first signs of corrosion.
