The Rocol selection centres on the Metal Repairer sub-category. These are two-part, metal-filled compounds that bond to metal surfaces, fill gaps and can be shaped once cured. They suit repairs where welding is impractical, or where heat could distort the component.
Browse the range to find a repair solution for worn shafts, cracked housings, pitted surfaces and damaged castings.
Key Features of Rocol Fillers & Repairers
- Metal-filled formulation: Bonds to metal substrates and cures to a hard finish that can be machined, drilled, filed or tapped, so repairs can be finished to size.
- Cold-applied repair: No heat is needed, which avoids the warping and distortion that welding can cause on thin or precision components.
- Gap-filling capability: Fills pits, scores, cracks and missing material, restoring the original profile of the part.
- Two-part mixing: Curing starts once the parts are combined, giving controlled working time for application and shaping.
- Cost-effective repairs: Rebuilding a part can reduce downtime and avoid the expense of a replacement.
Always check the product data sheet for cure times, temperature limits and surface preparation guidance, and follow COSHH advice when handling.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is a Rocol metal repairer used for?
It fills and rebuilds damaged metal, such as cracks, pits, worn areas and casting flaws, then cures hard enough to be machined or finished.
Do I need to prepare the surface first?
Yes. Clean, degrease and roughen the metal so the repairer bonds properly. Follow the instructions on the product for best results.
Can I drill or file the repair once cured?
Metal-filled repairers are designed to be machined, drilled, filed or tapped after curing, but check the data sheet for the recommended cure time before finishing.
Is a metal repairer a replacement for welding?
It is a useful alternative where heat is unsuitable or welding is impractical. For critical structural or high-load repairs, follow the manufacturer's guidance and relevant safety standards.
