Stainless steel railings can be some of the sleekest, strongest railings to install. However, like any other type of railing, they’re less effective and less attractive when damaged. If you need to repair damaged stainless steel railings, Pro Weld can help you. Here’s how to get started.
Assess the Damage
The first step to repairing anything, stainless steel railings included, is assessing the damage to determine what kind of work they need to be fixed. If your stainless steel railings are damaged by rust, you may be able to fix the problem yourself. However, damage involving a break in the metal is best handled by a professional – like those at Pro Weld.
DIY Repair for Damaged Stainless Steel Railings
Some damage to stainless steel railings is possible to fix by yourself. Repair rust-damaged stainless steel railings right at home with some rust remover and a metal coating product. There are different products for coating different types of metal, so be sure to find the right one. To remove and repair rust problems on stainless steel railings, you’ll need to buy a rust prevention product to prevent oxidization of the metal. This is most necessary where the steel bars have been welded together. This is because welding slightly changes the chemical composition of the metal. So, stainless steel is most likely to be affected near the joints and connections.
