Welding in Malaysia

Updated 4 November 2026

In Malaysia welding is quoted per job, because the sources we found list equipment and courses rather than hourly rates for the work itself. Welding machines range from about RM 91 for a small spot welder to RM 2,865 for a 30 to 200A package, and a 2-day welding course costs RM 1,500 (approximately, according to sellers' websites, November 2026). The quickest way to get a real price is to describe the job in a BlaBlaPrice request.

• the metal and its thickness
• the dimensions in millimetres and the number of pieces
• whether you supply the metal or the welder does
• coating, such as paint or galvanising
• a visit to your site or work in a workshop
• deadline and budget

Certification to ask for

The Construction Industry Development Board runs a certification scheme for welding that covers Levels 1, 2 and 3. If the job is on a construction site, ask the welder which level they hold. For a business that wants recognised welding quality, the ISO 3834 certification is quoted at about RM 10,000 to RM 30,000 for a small company, according to a certification guide. Ask in the request which level the job needs, so the welder does not quote for work they cannot sign off.

Outdoor work and the wet season

The climate is tropical, with hot days all year and wet and dry seasons instead of winter and summer. Heavy rain stops outdoor welding and delays painting or coating, so for a gate or frame that will stand outside, ask whether the work can be done under cover and whether the coating is included. Metal is measured in millimetres and weight in kilograms, so give the thickness and dimensions in those units.

Metal, site and delivery

Say whether you supply the metal or the welder does, because the quote changes with it. Name your city among Kuala Lumpur, George Town, Johor Bahru, Ipoh and Shah Alam, and say whether a welder may come to your site or you bring the piece to a workshop. Write the site address and the deadline in the request, so the price includes the trip you actually need.

Describe the job in one message on BlaBlaPrice: what to weld, the metal, the size, whether the welder comes to you, and your budget. The AI asks for what is missing and then looks through sellers' websites and price lists in Malaysia, showing the prices and businesses it found. Welders registered on BlaBlaPrice reply in the chat with their own offer, price and terms. Your contacts stay hidden until you choose to exchange them, and the service is free for buyers.
