I have an older Aluma trailer and the fender welds are all cracking off. Anyone know how much it will cost to have the old welds ground off and weld the fenders back on correctly?

I've been told this is common with aluminum trailers.

Assuming we are talking about "teardrop" fenders with backs

A couple of pop rivets and Urethane Adhesive. [ you can jump on them once the adhesive cures ]
The urethane has enough flex to resist cracking.

I've mounted over 100 fenders using this method with zero comebacks

Any specific brand of Urethane Adhesive? Surface prep like any other adhesive application?
