Welding services in Pakistan: how prices are set and what to send

Updated 4 November 2026

Welding in Pakistan is quoted per job, and the search found no published service rates, so the price depends on the metal, size and site. Equipment prices are easier to find: according to sellers' websites, November 2026, a welding plant starts at about Rs 15,000, and an inverter machine for 130 to 160 A costs about Rs 4,999. Send a request on BlaBlaPrice to get a price for your own job.

There is no standard rate per metre or per hour that we could confirm, so each offer depends on:

• what is to be welded and its dimensions, in millimetres and metres
• the metal type and thickness, and whether the metal is yours or the seller's
• the coating, such as cleaning, priming or paint removal before welding
• the call-out to your site address in Karachi, Lahore, Islamabad, Rawalpindi or Faisalabad
• the deadline and your budget in rupees

Local rules and what to check

Some national courses follow the National Vocational Qualifications Framework and are delivered free of cost, and a TIG and MIG welder certificate is one of the qualifications listed. Ask which process the welder uses and whether they hold such a certificate. The search did not show a licence needed for welding work itself, so check the certificate and the safety gear on site.

Season and climate

Pakistan has a desert climate, with very hot summers from May to September and mild winters from November to March. Outdoor welding and site work are easier in the mild months, so November to March is a good time to book work outside. In the summer months, schedule outdoor work for the early morning or evening.

How it is bought here

Welding is quoted per job, and the offer should state whether the call-out and materials are included. Give the exact site address in Karachi, Lahore, Islamabad, Rawalpindi or Faisalabad, so the welder can say whether they travel to you. Measure the parts in millimetres and metres before you ask.

What to write in your request

Name the metal, its thickness if you know it, and the work: a gate, a railing, a frame or a repair. Add the dimensions, the coating you need, the deadline and your budget in rupees, and say whose metal it is. A clear photo of the part helps the seller give a firm offer.

On BlaBlaPrice, creating a request is free for buyers. Describe the job in your own words in a chat, and add a photo if you have one. The AI reads the request, asks for missing details and looks through sellers' websites and price lists in Pakistan, then shows the prices and businesses it found.
