Metalwork Restoration and Refurbishment
Metalwork repairs and refurbishment across Hampshire and Wiltshire. Gates, doors, window frames and ornamental metalwork, plus hinges, latches and locks.
Repairs and Refurbishment for Existing Metalwork
Weld It repairs and refurbishes traditional and heritage metalwork across Hampshire, Wiltshire and the South of England. Our work includes gates, metal doors, window frames and ornamental garden features, as well as replacing worn or broken latches, hinges and locks.
If you have metalwork that needs attention, send us photographs and tell us what has changed or stopped working. We can assess its condition and discuss the repairs, replacement parts or refurbishment that may be appropriate.
Metalwork We Can Assess
A damaged fitting or worn finish does not tell the whole story. We look at the item and its condition before agreeing what work is needed.
Metal Gates
Assessment and repairs for existing gates, including damaged sections and fittings that no longer work properly. We can discuss refurbishment where the wider metalwork also needs attention.
Metal Doors
Repairs and refurbishment for metal doors. Let us know whether the problem concerns the door itself, the surrounding frame or the hinges and locking hardware.
Metal Window Frames
Assessment of older metal window frames with visible damage or deterioration. Photographs of the whole frame and close-ups of the affected areas help us understand the work involved.
Ornamental Garden Metalwork
Restoration and refurbishment of decorative garden metalwork. We can look at damaged details, worn finishes and the condition of the piece before recommending an approach.
Hinges, Latches and Locks
Replacement of worn or broken fittings on existing metalwork. The replacement needs to suit the item and its fixing points, as well as the way it is used.
Traditional and Heritage Metalwork
Work on older metal features where the original appearance is an important part of the project. We discuss which details can be retained and how repairs or replacements could relate to them.
Have something that needs attention? Send photographs of the whole item and close-ups of any damage, along with its location.
Discuss a RepairRepair and Finish Options
The approach depends on the metal, the extent of the damage and the finish already on the piece. We discuss suitable options after assessing it.
Repairing Existing Metalwork
Where the condition allows, repairs can focus on the affected parts of an existing item. We assess the surrounding metal as well as the visible damage before discussing what can be kept.
Condition-led repairsReplacing Damaged Parts
Some fittings or sections may need replacing. We can discuss suitable replacements with attention to the dimensions, existing design and connections to the rest of the piece.
Fittings and sectionsSurface Preparation
The condition of the surface needs to be considered before refinishing. The appropriate preparation depends on the metal and any existing coating, particularly on older pieces.
Before refinishingProtective and Decorative Finishes
We can discuss a suitable finish for the repaired metalwork. Painting and other treatments are selected for the item and its setting, with the appearance and future care considered together.
Suited to the itemPlanning the Work
Photographs are a useful starting point. A closer assessment helps establish what can be retained and how the work should be carried out.
What Needs Attention
Tell us about anything that has broken, become loose or stopped moving correctly. Knowing how the item is used helps us understand the problem as well as the visible damage.
Original Details
Point out any features you want to keep, such as decorative details or a particular profile. Older photographs can also help explain the original appearance where parts are missing.
Material and Condition
The type of metal and the extent of deterioration affect the repair options. A surface photograph may not reveal the full condition, so the scope may need closer examination.
Access to the Metalwork
Let us know where the item is fitted and how it can be reached. We can then discuss whether the proposed work is suitable for the location or involves removal and refitting.
Scope of the Repair
A single broken latch may call for a focused repair, while deterioration across several areas may need wider refurbishment. We explain the proposed work before it is agreed.
Appearance and Future Care
The finish should suit both the repaired item and its surroundings. We can discuss the expected appearance and the care needed once the work is complete.
How It Works
We agree the scope after looking at the existing metalwork. A small fitting repair and a larger refurbishment will need different amounts of work.

Metalwork Restoration FAQs
Answers to a few common questions about having existing metalwork repaired or refurbished.
Can my metalwork be repaired rather than replaced?
That depends on its condition, the type of metal and the extent of the damage. Some jobs need only a fitting or a localised repair; others involve replacing sections or the whole item. We can assess the metalwork and discuss the available options with you.
How much does metalwork restoration cost?
The cost depends on the repairs, any replacement parts, preparation and finishing, and whether removal or refitting is needed. Send photographs and a description of the problem so we can discuss an assessment and a quote for the proposed work.
Can you replace a broken hinge, latch or lock?
Yes. We replace worn and broken hinges, latches and locks on metalwork. A photograph of the fitting and the item it belongs to will help us identify what needs to be assessed. The replacement must suit the existing arrangement.
Do you work on heritage and traditional metalwork?
Yes. We repair and refurbish traditional and heritage metalwork, including work at older and listed properties. Tell us about the setting, any original details you want to retain and any project specifications already in place when you get in touch.
