Auto body repair
Tauranga’s vehicle repair shops use automotive kits for plastic bumper repair. PEMD rod, the right speed nozzle and a pressure roller turn a $500 bumper into a 2-hour repair.

Delivery to Tauranga
- Overnight NZ-wide courier from our Auckland dispatch. Most Tauranga metro addresses receive delivery the next working day after dispatch.
- Rural delivery Bay of Plenty addresses are typically one extra working day.
- Same-day order processing for weekday orders placed before our cut-off.
- Phone & email technical support — call before you order if you’re unsure which welder, rod or kit suits your job. Rod-to-substrate mismatch is the most common cause of failed welds.
Choosing the right tool
- Identify the plastic — check the recycling stamp, or use the burn and float test guide. Each plastic needs matching welding rod.
- Match welder to use frequency — Rion for occasional, Triac for daily, Triac S for production.
- Wall thickness — under 6mm hot-air with rod; over 6mm step up to an extruder welder.
- Bundle the consumables — kits include the right rod, nozzle, roller and brush so nothing’s missing on day one.
FAQs from Tauranga & Bay of Plenty customers

Most Tauranga metro addresses receive delivery the next working day after dispatch. Rural delivery in the wider Bay of Plenty is typically one extra working day. Orders placed before our weekday cut-off are dispatched same day.
Do you have a Tauranga showroom?
No — we’re Auckland-based and operate online with NZ-wide courier delivery. Phone and email enquiries from Tauranga customers are welcome. If you’d like to discuss your order in detail or arrange pickup, contact us first.
I do marine plastic repair — what should I start with?
A fabrication kit with PE-HD and PE-MD rod covers the most common marine PE work — kayak hulls, hatches, fenders. The Techspan Rion welder handles repair-grade work; the Triac is the right step up for daily commercial use. Call us with your specific applications and we’ll narrow it down.
I work in kiwifruit orchards — can I repair our irrigation pipework with this kit?
For thin-wall PE drip-line and lateral pipe, a hand-held hot-air welder with PE-HD rod works fine for repairs and joining. For thicker mainline PE100 pipe under pressure, an extruder welder is the correct tool. Contact us with the pipe spec and we’ll point you at the right setup.
Do you sell trade pricing to commercial accounts?
Yes — trade pricing is available for ongoing commercial accounts including marine, horticulture, signage and fabrication customers. Contact us with your account details to get set up.
