Welding services in the United Arab Emirates

Updated 4 November 2026

Published prices for welding labour in the United Arab Emirates are scarce. The price figures we found for November 2026 are for equipment: according to sellers' websites, a multi-process welding machine lists at up to AED 9,600 and welding consumables at up to AED 3,000. Each welding job is quoted separately, so the quickest way to a real figure is to describe your job on BlaBlaPrice.

• the metal (steel, stainless steel or aluminium) and its thickness
• the length of the weld and the number of pieces
• whether the welder works at your site or the part goes to a workshop
• coating, galvanising or paint needed afterwards
• the deadline

Licences and training to check

A business that sells welding services in the UAE needs a licence, and the cost of getting one depends on the emirate, the company structure and the size of the workshop. Ask the welder for a trade licence before you agree the job. Training also tells you something: practical welding courses in Dubai cost from AED 1,800 for MIG and up to AED 3,500 for SMAW, so a certificate shows the welder has been formally trained.

Season and site conditions

The climate is desert: very hot from May to September and mild from November to March. Outdoor welding and painting of frames is far more comfortable in the mild months, so schedule larger outdoor jobs from November to March. In summer, ask for the work to start early, before the midday heat.

Delivery and how welding is priced here

Welding can be done at your site, which is a call-out, or in a workshop, and distance changes the price. A job in Al Ain or Ajman may carry travel costs that a job in Dubai does not. Ask whether the quote includes travel, materials and finishing. Give dimensions in millimetres or metres, and the weight of a heavy part in kilograms.

What to write in your request

Say what needs welding and where it will be installed, the metal type and the dimensions. Add whether you will supply the metal, whether the welder must come to your address, and whether the part needs coating afterwards. Give the site address, your deadline and your budget. Photos help the welder price the job without a visit.
