Plastic repair and welding

Plastic repair and welding

At AWM Automotive Services And Autobody, we don’t automatically replace every cracked or broken plastic part. Our certified auto body technicians use advanced plastic welding and repair techniques to restore bumpers, grilles, fender liners, trim pieces, and interior components. This process ensures structural integrity, maintains appearance, and costs significantly less than new parts. Located in Big Bend, WI, we offer competitive pricing, commercial rates, and dealer special pricing for premium-quality plastic repairs.

When Do You Need Plastic repair and welding?

Your bumper has a crack or tear – Even large cracks can be welded from the back for a seamless finish.
A mounting tab or bracket is broken – We rebuild broken attachment points so panels fit correctly.
Your grille, fender flare, or trim is damaged – Avoid buying expensive OEM replacements.
An interior panel or dashboard is cracked – Restore appearance and functionality without full replacement.

How We Perform Plastic repair and welding (Step-by-Step Process)

Step 1: Assessment & disassembly

We inspect the damage, identify the plastic type (PP, ABS, etc.), and remove the part if needed.

Step 2: Cleaning & preparation

The area is cleaned, beveled, and prepped for strong adhesion.

Step 3: Welding & reinforcement

Using heat-based plastic welding and rods matched to your plastic type, we fuse cracks and rebuild broken tabs. We may add mesh or metal backing for strength.

Step 4: Finishing & quality check

The repair is sanded, smoothed, and prepped for paint or left as-is. We verify fitment before reassembly.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is plastic welding as strong as a new part?
Yes – when done correctly. Our certified technicians use the correct rod material and temperature to create a bond that is often stronger than the original surrounding plastic.
Will the repair be visible after painting?
No. We finish the repair so it’s completely smooth. Once painted or refinished, you cannot tell it was ever damaged.
Can you repair holes or tears in motorcycle or Jet Ski plastic?
Absolutely. We also repair fiberglass (boats, Jet Skis) and plastic components on ATVs, motorcycles, and watercraft.
Do you offer dealer or commercial pricing for plastic repairs?
Yes. We provide dealer special pricing and discounts for commercial accounts, fleets, and repeat customers. Call +1 414-788-6005 to discuss your rates.
