Metal & Waste Recycling Equipment Repairs
Specialist repairs to metal recycling and waste processing equipment, carried out in our workshop and on site. We help recyclers keep critical plant running, reduce downtime and extend the service life of key components and equipment.
Specialist repairs for the metal recycling industry
With over a decade of experience supporting metal recycling and waste recycling operations, we provide specialist repairs, refurbishment and fabrication for a wide range of recycling and waste processing equipment.Â
Our work is focused on keeping critical processing lines operational in demanding environments, helping operators minimise downtime, extend the working life of key components and avoid unnecessary replacement wherever possible.
Recycling equipment repairs across the UK
Blaker Engineering supports metal recycling and waste processing facilities across England, Scotland, Wales and Ireland, providing specialist repair, refurbishment and fabrication services for critical recycling equipment.Â
We also support selected overseas projects where appropriate, particularly for specialist refurbishment and component repair.
The majority of machining and complex refurbishment work is carried out in our workshop to ensure accuracy, quality control and consistent standards.Â
Where appropriate, we also offer on-site support to assess equipment, carry out repairs and assist with installation and recommissioning.Â
With experience working with recycling operations nationwide, we understand the pressures of keeping processing lines running and the importance of responsive, practical engineering support to minimise downtime and extend equipment service life.

Repair vs replace recycling equipment
Repairing instead of replacing recyling equipment
In many cases, repairing worn or damaged recycling equipment is a practical alternative to replacement. A proper repair can restore performance, extend service life and help operators avoid the cost and lead times associated with new equipment.
- Lower cost than new equipment
- Shorter lead times
- Extends asset life
- Reduces waste
Our repair process
- Inspection and assessment
- Strip down and preparation
- Build-up / welding where required
- Precision machining or fabrication
- Final inspection and return to service
