Questions

Welding FAQ

How much does welding cost in Vancouver?

No Vancouver shop we checked posts a welding rate. Berto's Welding in Burnaby books mobile welding with a 4 hour minimum and quotes each job. Ask for your own quote.

Is a welder wage the customer rate?

No. Job Bank reports employee wages. A shop quote may also cover equipment, materials, overhead and travel.

Do I need a CWB certified fabricator?

For welded structures built to CSA S16, the fabricator must be CWB certified in Division 1 or 2. Ask what certification your repair needs.

Good to know

  • No Vancouver shop we checked posts prices for this. Send a request to compare quotes.
  • Send photos of the break and the whole part so the welder can assess the repair.
