Weld, machine and fabricate — in one place
Broken shafts, cracked housings, worn bores and failed brackets can stop a production line. RUMIX combines welding, machining and fabrication in one Hamilton shop, so we can repair the part, re-machine it to size, or make a brand-new replacement without sending it to three different suppliers.
We also rework and remanufacture existing equipment and pipe — restoring worn machines and upgrading them so they perform better than before.

FAQ
Equipment repair questions
How fast can you repair a broken part?
It depends on the part and the damage, but urgent breakdowns get priority. Call us at 905-388-7377 as soon as the equipment goes down so we can plan the repair.
Do you pick up and deliver?
Yes. We can pick up damaged parts or equipment from your site and deliver the repaired or new part back — anywhere in Ontario, 7 days a week.
Should I repair or replace a part?
Repair usually makes sense when the part is expensive, on long lead time or no longer available. We’ll tell you honestly which is better. Read weld it or replace it?
Can you make a new part if the old one is obsolete?
Yes. We measure the original, help produce a drawing and make a new part — often improved so it lasts longer.
Do you repair pumps and rotating equipment?
We repair housings, shafts, bores and wear surfaces on pumps and other equipment. See how to weld a pump back to life.
