Welding in Hong Kong: job prices and what to specify
Welding in Hong Kong is quoted per job, and the sources we found publish no labour rates for it. What is published, approximately and according to sellers' websites and training centres in November 2026, is a basic household welder at about HK$653, an arc welder listed at about HK$8,100 to HK$8,500, and a gas welding safety course at HK$470 per participant. For a real price on your job, describe it in a request on BlaBlaPrice.
What the price depends on
- the metal and its thickness: mild steel, stainless steel or aluminium
- the dimensions of the piece, in centimetres or millimetres
- whose metal it is, since a welder may quote differently if you supply it
- a coating that has to be removed or can be kept
- whether the welder must visit your address in Central, Kowloon, Sha Tin, Tsuen Wan or Tuen Mun
- the deadline and your budget
Welding is bought per job, and metric measurements are the norm, so give dimensions in centimetres or millimetres and the thickness in millimetres. A welder usually needs photos and measurements before giving a figure.
Rules for gas welding and flame cutting
Operators who do gas welding or flame cutting in industrial undertakings must complete a one-day mandatory gas welding safety training course. The course costs HK$470 per participant, and the fee must be settled seven days before the course date. Ask a welder whether they have completed it before you hire them for gas work.
Season and working outdoors
Winter, from December to February, is cooler, which makes outdoor work on gates, railings and balconies more comfortable. Summer, from June to August, is hot and humid, and a welder working outside then needs water and shade, so ask how they plan the day. Give the welder a deadline that allows for the season.
What to write in your request
Say what needs welding, the metal, the dimensions, whose metal it is, the coating and the site address. Add the deadline and your budget in HK$. A photo of the broken or damaged part lets a welder see the job before a visit.
On BlaBlaPrice the request is free for buyers. Describe the job in your own words in a chat and add a photo, and BlaBlaPrice's AI asks for missing details, looks through local price lists and shows the prices and businesses it found. Registered sellers reply with their own offer, price and terms, and your contacts stay hidden until you choose whom to contact.
