Machinery repairs
Worn, cracked or damaged machine parts repaired or rebuilt to get you running again.
Mechanical engineering solutions in Christchurch.
Practical design, repairs, modifications and custom parts that keep your machinery, plant and equipment working the way it should.
Service Overview
Engineering help that solves the problem in front of you.
When a machine breaks down, wears out or no longer suits the job, you need someone who understands both the engineering and the fabrication. We look at what the equipment needs to do, then design and build a fix that lasts.
From replacing a worn part to modifying a machine for a new process, we can model the change in 3D, fabricate the parts and fit them, so you deal with one team the whole way through.
What’s included
- Inspection of the problem
- Practical design options
- 3D modelling where needed
- Custom part fabrication
- Fitting and adjustment
- Ongoing repair support

Built To Spec
Engineered to work, built to last.
How we approach every mechanical engineering job.
Understand the cause
We look at why a part failed or what the machine needs, not just the symptom.
Design a practical fix
Solutions are planned around strength, access, maintenance and your budget.
Fit and test
Parts are fitted and checked so the equipment runs as it should before we hand back.
How It Works
From problem to working machine.
A clear process for mechanical repairs and engineering work.
Describe the issue
Tell us what’s happening with the machine and send photos if you can.
Inspect & plan
We look at the equipment and suggest practical repair or design options.
Make the parts
Parts are modelled if needed, then fabricated in our workshop.
Fit & hand back
We fit the parts, check everything works and hand the equipment back.

Often, yes. We can measure the old part or work from drawings, model it in 3D and fabricate a replacement.
Can you modify our equipment for a new process?
Yes. We can design and build modifications so existing equipment suits a new product, process or layout.
Do you come to our site?
Yes. We can inspect equipment and fit parts on site, and bring work back to our workshop when needed.
Can you help us improve an existing design?
Yes. If a part keeps failing or a machine could work better, we can suggest and build practical improvements.
