Metalwork on a boat
Marine fabricators make and repair the metal parts of a boat: pulpits and stanchions, guardrails, radar and solar arches, outboard brackets, passerelles, swim ladders, fittings and tanks. The most common materials are 316 stainless steel and marine-grade aluminium.
Many workshops build to measure: they measure on board, fabricate in the shop and fit the part on the boat. They also repair cracks and failed welds, and polish stainless that has lost its shine.
Things to check
Ask which stainless grade they use: 304 is cheaper but rusts in a marine environment, while 316 resists far better. Aluminium welding needs specific equipment and experience.
In Costa Blanca, ask for a drawing or sketch with measurements before fabrication, and make sure installation includes sealing every deck penetration to avoid leaks.
Marine welding and stainless steel in Costa Blanca: frequently asked questions
Which stainless steel is used on boats?
AISI 316, which resists corrosion in a marine environment much better than 304. Even more resistant alloys are sometimes used for submerged or highly exposed parts.
Can aluminium be welded on board?
Yes, with proper TIG or MIG equipment and experienced welders, although many repairs are better done in the workshop.
How much does a stainless solar arch cost?
It depends on size, tube diameter and mounts. Ask for a quote with a sketch, fitting and sealing of the mounts included.
Why does stainless steel rust?
Usually low-grade stainless, contamination from ordinary steel tools or lack of cleaning. Polishing and passivation restore it.
