Cost to rebuild a tandem axle trailer?

Have an old trailer sitting. Probably needs bearings, brakes, decking, paint, tires, lights, and wiring.
Anyone ever done a restore on one? Trying to figure out how much I woukd be looking at?

Really depends on the extent you are going on the parts and worries on corrosion.
Do you know anything about the axles on the trailer?

I re-did a 16' heavy duty tandem axle.
welded on new hitch and chains
new trailer jack
4 new tires and rims
1 new axle with trailer brakes
wiring
LED lights
replaced wood
new bearings on existing axle
paint
total about $1200 not counting my time.

decking
Wood? size?

paint
quote:depends on size but anywhere from 30-90 per tire
tires
quote:depends on the quality $20-100
lights
Labor is really your biggest expense here. do you want to do any yourself

I recently changed the decking and did a rattle can paint job on a 75" x14' deck utility and had about $300 in it not including the one hub I changed for $50

guessing open. if you can turn a wrench a lot of this is easy to do, especially if you get new axles as well.
You just need some key measurements and specs

Might not be a whole lot more to buy a new one honestly. Sell the old one for 500-750

If it's a standard run of the mill 16ft style trailer then if suggest selling it to someone for $500 and buying a new one. A complete overhaul like you've listed can get close to 75% of the price of a new one
