Inspection & fault finding
We assess the cylinder, visible damage, wear, leakage and the reported machine problem before deciding the repair route.

CYLINDER REPAIR SERVICE
When a cylinder fails, start with the problem.
A leaking, damaged or under-performing hydraulic cylinder does not always need replacing. We inspect the cylinder, identify what has failed and work out the practical repair route.
Depending on the condition, that can mean replacing seals, repairing or replacing damaged components, dealing with worn rods or tubes, carrying out machining work, or rebuilding the cylinder ready for service.
You don't need to diagnose the fault first.Bring the cylinder to our Keighley workshop, send photographs and measurements, or tell us what the machine is doing and we'll help identify the next step.
Hydraulic cylinder repair & refurbishment
WHAT WE CAN HELP WITH
From a leaking seal to a complete cylinder rebuild.
We can assess the cylinder and recommend the appropriate repair or engineering route rather than assuming a replacement is required.
Strip-down & resealing
We strip, inspect and replace seals and wear components where appropriate, then rebuild the cylinder.
Component repair
We can repair or replace damaged rods, glands, pistons, tubes, ports and associated components where practical.
Refurbishment & rebuilds
Return worn or failed cylinders to service through a practical combination of repair, machining and new components.
OUR APPROACH
Inspect. Diagnose. Repair. Rebuild. Test.
It all starts with a conversation, followed by an inspection to determine the condition of the cylinder. Where possible, we'll keep the repair practical and avoid unnecessary cost.
Start with the problem
We establish the symptoms, application and what has happened to the cylinder before deciding what needs checking.
Inspect the cylinder
We strip and assess the cylinder for seal failure, wear, damage and the condition of the main components.
Repair, machine or replace
Depending on what we find, the repair may involve resealing, component replacement, machining or other engineering work.
Rebuild & check
The cylinder is rebuilt and checked as appropriate before collection or return to service.
MORE THAN JUST A SEAL REPLACEMENT
We check the cylinder before recommending the repair.
A simple leak may only need a reseal. An inspection can also reveal wear or damage elsewhere, so we check the components that matter before deciding what should be reused, repaired or replaced.
Seals & wear components
Worn seals can cause leakage, but replacing them is only part of the assessment when other components are showing signs of wear.
Chrome rods
We look for scoring, pitting, bending and other damage that could affect sealing and cylinder performance.
Tube or barrel
The tube is checked for internal wear or damage that could affect the rebuilt cylinder.
Eye bolts & ball joints
Mounting and articulation points can also need attention where wear or damage is found.
Pistons, glands & ports
Key internal and external components are assessed as part of the overall repair route.
Machining & engineering work
Where practical, machining or other engineering work can form part of the refurbishment rather than replacing the complete cylinder.
COMMON APPLICATIONS
Cylinders from plant, machinery and industrial equipment.
We can work on hydraulic cylinders used across a range of machinery and engineering applications. If you're unsure whether your cylinder is something we can help with, contact us and we'll discuss it.
- Plant and construction equipment
- Industrial machinery
- Agricultural and mobile equipment
- Material handling and lifting equipment
- Manufacturing machinery and bespoke equipment
- Replacement and refurbishment work
WHAT TO BRING
Useful information for a faster assessment.
Where possible, bring the cylinder itself or send:
- Photographs of the cylinder and damaged areas
- Dimensions and any markings or part numbers
- Details of the machine or application
- A drawing or specification if available
- Information about the fault or leakage
CYLINDER REPAIR FAQ
Common questions
Can you repair a leaking hydraulic cylinder?
Yes. Leakage can be caused by seal failure, damaged components or other issues. We inspect the cylinder before deciding the appropriate repair.
Does a cylinder always need replacing?
No. Depending on its condition, a cylinder may be suitable for resealing, component repair, machining or refurbishment.
Can you work from photographs before I bring the cylinder in?
Photographs and useful measurements can help us understand the problem and advise what information or parts may be needed. A physical inspection is normally required before confirming the repair.
Can you help if I don't know what has failed?
Yes. Tell us what the machine is doing, what has changed and what you can see. We can help establish the practical next step.
CYLINDER NEEDS ATTENTION?
Bring us the cylinder or tell us what's gone wrong.
Send photographs, measurements or a drawing, or bring the cylinder to our Keighley workshop. We'll inspect it and help work out the practical repair route.
