Stainless fabrication as a complete requirement
Bespoke stainless steel fabrication is quoted around the complete finished requirement, not just a single workshop operation. Stainless work is strongest when the cutting, forming, TIG welding and final finish are considered together. Zeus can quote from customer drawings, CAD files, samples or well-dimensioned photographs, with the aim of delivering the complete component or assembly rather than selling isolated processes.
You do not need a perfect drawing to start a conversation. A clear sketch, an existing component, photographs with dimensions or a description of what the stainless part must do can establish whether the job is suitable before final manufacturing information is agreed.
What Zeus fabricates in stainless steel
Typical enquiries include formed panels, brackets, guards, covers, trays, cones, transitions, hoppers, pipework details, cylindrical or vessel-style sections and multi-part welded assemblies. Genuine Zeus project photography shows formed, welded and polished work across this type of fabrication.
Buyers who already know the fabricated item can go directly to fabricated hoppers, cones and transition pieces, fabricated pipework components or cylindrical fabrications. These product pages support this stainless service page rather than replacing it.
If a job combines several operations, send the complete requirement rather than splitting it into separate enquiries. Cutting, folding, TIG welding, dressing and polishing can then be considered as parts of the same finished component.
Stainless TIG welding at the core
TIG welding is a flagship Zeus capability for stainless components where control, joint quality and appearance matter. Zeus brings 30+ years of hands-on fabrication and welding experience to this work.
If welds will remain visible, be dressed or blend into a polished finish, state that at quotation stage. Welding access, joint placement and final appearance are easier to manage when the TIG and finishing requirements are considered together.
Stainless polishing and finishing
Brushed, satin and polished finishes can be included as part of the finished stainless fabrication. If a component must match existing equipment, provide close-up photographs or a physical finish reference where practical and identify the faces that will remain visible.
The finish should be specified early. Grain direction, weld dressing, handling and protection can all affect how a visible stainless component is planned and completed.
What to send for a stainless fabrication quote
- Drawing, sketch, CAD file or clear photographs
- Stainless grade, if known
- Material thickness and principal dimensions
- Quantity required
- TIG weld requirements or weld symbols where specified
- Brushed, satin, polished or other finish requirement
- Important mating parts, interfaces and visible faces
- Delivery postcode and required date
Do not worry if every detail is not available. Send what you have and explain the finished requirement in plain language; Zeus can identify what additional information is needed before a firm quotation is prepared.
Why grade, finish and interfaces matter
For stainless work, outside dimensions alone are not enough. Grade, thickness, bend positions, hole sizes, mating faces, weld locations and final visible finish can all affect how the part is made. Supplying the fullest drawing or specification available reduces ambiguity and helps the quotation reflect the real job.

Frequently asked questions
Can Zeus quote a complete stainless fabrication including TIG welding and polishing?
Yes. Send the complete drawing and finish requirement so forming, TIG welding and polishing can be considered as one finished fabrication.
What information is most useful for a stainless fabrication quote?
A drawing or photographs, stainless grade if known, thickness, quantity, weld requirements, finish, delivery postcode and required date are the best starting points.
Can Zeus match an existing brushed or polished stainless appearance?
A reference photograph or sample is useful where appearance must match existing stainless work. Identify the visible faces and the required finish when sending the enquiry.
Send your stainless job for a quote
Send the drawing or CAD file, stainless grade if known, thickness, quantity, weld and finish requirements, delivery postcode and required date. If you do not have a drawing, attach clear photographs and dimensions to start the conversation.
