Body Panel Welding in Katowice

Welding cracks and through-holes in the body in Katowice from 150 PLN per hour. Restoring metal before painting. Owocowa 18a.

Welding a body panel at Hybrid Master costs from 150 PLN per hour of work — the exact time depends on the extent of the damage. Welding is used to restore through-holes, cracks, and tears in metal or plastic before further paint preparation — this is a more reliable solution for serious damage compared to ordinary filler, which isn't designed to fill through-holes.

How much does body panel welding cost in Katowice?

Welding — from 150 PLN per hour, exact time depends on the extent and complexity of the damage.
Used for through-holes, cracks, and tears in metal and plastic.
A more reliable solution than filler for serious structural damage.
Additional preparation (sanding, filling) is needed after welding before painting.
Guarantee on the completed work.

When body panel welding is needed

A rusted-through hole in the metal, which can't simply be filled with body filler without risk of reappearing shortly after.
A crack in a plastic bumper or other panel, requiring restoration of integrity before painting.
Torn metal after serious mechanical damage (an impact, an accident).
Damage discovered during paint prep, requiring more serious restoration than initially assumed.
Welding cracks in plastic bumpers using special plastic welding material rather than metal welding.

Welding cost: pricing factors

Factor	Effect on price
Panel material (metal/plastic)	Different technology and consumables
Damage area and complexity	More work time for extensive or hard-to-reach damage
Need for additional preparation after welding	Sanding and filling are charged separately

How body panel welding works at Hybrid Master

Inspecting the damage, determining the technology — metal welding or plastic welding (depending on the material).

Cleaning the damaged area of rust, dirt, and old paint around the weld zone.

For metal — preparing the edges of the hole or crack for good adhesion with the fill material.

Welding the damaged area, gradually filling the defect.

Monitoring even fill without excessive heat that could deform neighbouring metal.

Letting the panel cool naturally.

Sanding the welded area to an even surface matching the panel's original contour.

Checking surface evenness by sighting and by touch.

Additional spot filling of minor unevenness if needed.

Passing the panel on to the next stage of paint preparation.

Why trust body panel welding to Hybrid Master

Welding requires controlled heat — excessive heat can deform neighbouring metal or damage the plastic's structure, while insufficient heat won't provide a reliable bond. We always work carefully, restoring the panel's original contour as precisely as possible. Owocowa 18a, Katowice, +48 883 340 905.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

How is welding different from filling?+

Welding (or plastic welding for plastic) restores the material's structural integrity, filling a through-hole or crack with metal or plastic itself. Filler is a levelling compound applied over an already solid (non-through) surface to remove minor unevenness — it's not designed to close through-defects.

Can a through-hole in metal just be filled instead of welded?+

We don't recommend it — filler over a through-hole will eventually crack and fall out under vibration and temperature swings, and the rust itself will keep spreading under the filler layer. The correct solution is to weld the metal first, and only then apply filler on top for perfect smoothness.

Is welding used on plastic bumpers?+

Yes, but a special plastic welding technology with the appropriate consumable material is used, not metal welding — cracks in plastic bumpers are successfully restored with this method before further paint preparation.

How long does welding one piece of damage take?+

Depends on the area and complexity — from 30 minutes for a small crack to several hours for extensive through-damage requiring gradual metal fill.

Is additional preparation needed after welding before painting?+

Yes, always — after welding, the surface is sanded to an even state, spot-filled if needed for perfect smoothness, and only then passed on to primer and paint.

Can welding deform neighbouring body areas?+

With incorrect technique (excessive heat), yes, there's a risk. We always control the temperature and work carefully, minimising the effect on neighbouring, undamaged panel areas.

How durable is the welding result compared to the original metal?+

When done well, the welded area reliably restores the panel's structural integrity and performs comparably to the original material with proper subsequent protection (primer, paint, anti-corrosion treatment).
