I can't judge the fairness of this price, since it is impossible from the description to tell the extent and quality of the work.
Per hour charges will vary greatly depending on the market. You will pay a lot less for a welder in Toledo (dying industrial city) than you would in Newark or Chicago (union trades people still in high demand).
I do know this: a good welder is worth his weight in gold.
Case in point, I broke my Dingo pallett forks ripping Buckthorn stumps out. One welder charged me $60 to "fix" it, and after picking up one pallett it was broke again. I took it to another, famous for the picture collection on his office walls, and for twice the price, I haven't had any trouble. This same guy built my trailer gate 7 years ago for $400 and it is going strong today.
More expensive is sometimes cheaper.
