A broken brass light mount or a cracked bronze hinge can easily cause a door, gate, or appliance to stop working. Corrosion and natural wear and tear can also weaken brass or bronze parts, causing them to stop fitting or start leaking. When these issues occur, you need a skilled welder to help bring your brass and bronze pieces back to life.
Brady’s Welding offers bronze and brass welding repair for home and property items. We choose the welding process based on the part type, damage, and metal condition. Small items can be brought into our shop for repairs. However, if the item can’t be moved, we’ll come to you. We offer mobile welding in Lakewood, WA, so even heavy, stationary items can be repaired.
To begin the process, text us clear photos which show the entire object and the damaged area to (253) 475-4608. Be sure to tell us what the part is used for and whether it’s still installed, and we’ll talk you through the next steps.
We repair cracks that form at stress points, seams, and joints on bronze and brass parts. Cracks typically appear on hardware that flexes, carries weight, or gets bumped often.
If a mount, bracket, or connection point breaks on a brass or bronze item, we can often repair the joint, so the part can sit correctly again. This applies to functional parts and decorative pieces.
Bronze and brass hardware can fail at pivot points or connection areas. Door hinges and locks are common bronze and brass pieces that we repair often.
Brass and bronze light fixtures can crack at the mount, stem, or connection points. When we repair light fixtures, we make sure they stay straight, stay secure, and don’t wobble or droop in the future.
If the metal is still strong and we can safely get to it, we might be able to fix your sink.
When we deal with brass burners and cooking items, we look at damage location, heat exposure, and safe handling before we begin welding.
We select the welding method that best fits the part and repair goal, then we control the heat to reduce warping and keep the joint stable. This process matters for thin brass or detailed pieces, where small movement can change how the part fits.
Start by texting us photos at (253) 475-4608. It helps to send one photo showing the entire item, then close-ups of the crack, break, or worn area. To help us confirm access and give you a more accurate quote, include a short message about what the part is used for and whether it is still installed.
Before welding, we clean the repair area so the weld bonds properly to the solid metal, rather than bonding to the polish, oxidation, or residue. We also make sure to protect any nearby surfaces that should not be heated or scratched, which is an important step when working with fixtures and finished hardware.
When corrosion has started to pit the surface of your bronze or brass piece, a repair can sometimes restore function if enough sound metal remains.
After the weld, we confirm alignment and function before the job is completed. This is a particularly important step when working with parts such as hinges, mounts, and burner components, where fit matters as much as strength.
Some repairs can be done in our shop, but if the item can’t be moved, we offer on-site mobile welding to complete the repair at your location.
If the item is bolted down, too large to move, or needs to be fixed where it sits, mobile welding can reduce handling and downtime. Brady’s Welding offers mobile welding services for residential and commercial clients across Lakewood. Our mobile setup supports TIG (Heliarc), MIG, and stick welding, which allows us to use the right welding method to complete the job on site.
Mobile welding is often a good option when the repair is on installed parts or equipment, such as cracked brackets, broken supports, or a problem area on a gate or railing that is impractical or very expensive to transport.
Shop repair is usually the better choice for small parts and detailed hardware, or when the piece needs more cleaning and prep than we can do on-site. Bringing the item in is also ideal when the repair needs careful fit-up to protect threads, sealing surfaces, or mating parts.
We match filler to the job and use pure argon or argon-helium mixes to protect the weld pool and improve results.
After cooling, we clean, dress sharp edges if requested, and check alignment before hand-off. For certain alloys, post-weld heat steps can further stabilize the part.
You’ll know the cost and a realistic timeline with your estimate. If moving the item isn’t practical, we can complete the work on site around Lakewood, Tacoma, and the South Sound. Call or text (253) 475-4608 to get on the schedule.
TIG welding, also called Heliarc welding, allows for close control of heat and the weld bead. This type of welding can be useful on thin brass and bronze parts where fit and appearance are important.
MIG and stick welding can be a good fit for thicker sections or repairs where access is limited. Because of this, we tend to reach for these methods during mobile welding jobs.
When you are repairing bronze or brass, experience matters because heat control and joint prep affect how the part fits and holds up. Brady’s Welding has served the area since 1975, providing local families and business owners with quality welding repairs.
We are proud to have received an A+ rating with the Better Business Bureau.
Bronze and brass jobs are usually small repairs, like a broken hinge, cracked fixture mount, or worn part that keeps something from working. Unlike other welders, we welcome small jobs!
Brady’s Welding saves you time by offering a photo review, so we can inspect your part and confirm what you need before scheduling a visit. Text us photos of the issue to (253) 475-4608.
