Frequently Asked Questions
What types of plastic can you repair?
We can repair most plastic materials including HDPE, polypropylene, ABS, polycarbonate, nylon, PVC, and many others. Our team assess each material and select the best repair technique. Some thermoset plastics and heavily degraded materials may have limited repair options. If you’re unsure about your material type, bring it in for assessment or contact us and we’ll recommend the best approach.
How strong are plastic repairs compared to the original material?
When done correctly, plastic repairs often match or exceed the strength of the original material. Welding creates molecular bonds stronger than the base plastic, while adhesives and reinforcements add durability. With proper preparation and execution, our repairs meet or exceed original specifications.
How much does plastic repair cost compared to replacement?
It depends on the individual job and the complexity of the repair. For expensive items like tanks, marine equipment or custom components, savings can be significant while also reducing downtime and waste. We provide detailed estimates to help you compare repair vs replacement.
How long do plastic repairs last?
Professional repairs can last as long as the original item. Longevity depends on the repair method, application and care. Many of our repairs have been in service for decades. We also provide maintenance guidance for added peace of mind.
Do you offer on site repair services?
Yes, we can provide on site repair services for large items or where transport isn’t practical. Our team can travel to you to perform field welding and fixes for tanks, machinery, and other large plastic items. Contact us to discuss your on site needs.
