Welding Ti is very specialized. You not only have to flood the outside of the tube being welded with inert gas but the inside too. Not everyone who can weld Ti knows how to weld Ti bicycle tubes.

Even out of warranty, I'd contact the importer to see what a repair would cost or if they have a reduced cost replacement policy. This is not a trivial repair.
