recouvrir la soudure défectueuse
In actual fact, by the time the faulty weld is being re-covered it will/should be a repaired weld.
There is no reason why the list of nouns couldn't be replaced by a list of verbs.

Finding out that "recouvrir" is here the opposite of "exposer" is really rocket science (or maybe requires no more than just seeing what's staring in your face?) //Ever heard of "originalism"? Sorry, make that "plagiarism"...

: c'est une énumération de substantifs, exposing, repairing, renewing, replacing and ***recovering. Traduire par des verbes serait maladroit.....

remise en état des soudures défectueuses
"recover" a le sens de récupérer, mais dans ce contexte, je préfère remise en état

: Not here, please see rest of context. It is actually not 'recovery', but 're-covering', i.e. 'covering up again' having first 'exposed' them.

Discussion
It's only what's in between "exposing" and "re-covering" that concerns the faulty weld itself.
The weekend is getting closer as well... That will also help!
"the costs or expenses of exposing, ... and re-covering of faulty welds"
It is referring to the 'making good' required after these defective welds have been exposed; it might be e.g. by removing paint, dismantling panelling, etc. etc., and of course all this has to be properly re-instated afterwards.
