Container Repair
Shipping and outdoor construction storage containers are very durable, usually made from cor-ten (weathering) steel. This allows them to stand up to the harsh environmental elements on the high seas or at a building site. Still, whether using your steel container for transport or storage, it is important to perform some ongoing maintenance to prolong its service life.
Our shipping and storage container repair services are carried out with speed and efficiency across the UK and most major ports. We provide a wide range of repair and replacement parts including; all door furniture, welding patches, inserts or panels, and all types of underside and structural repairs, replacement timber flooring and repainting. We also fit lockboxes for added security to site storage or shipping units.
The advantages of shipping container repair
Repairing existing shipping or storage containers is significantly cheaper than purchasing new ones. A fit-for-purpose container also ensures the safety of your contents and compliance with regulations. If your shipping container requires any repair work or maintenance, leave it to us.

Our team specialises in repairing dents, cracks, and structural damage, ensuring that containers retain their strength and durability on land and sea. A container with a hole needs to be repaired as soon as it is found. Our team can patch or weld a small hole and paint with a waterproof coating. If you have extensive damage, we can cut out large sections and replace them with large steel patch-panels, blown in with marine standard container paint to protect the area.
Container Rust and Corrosion Treatment
Rust and corrosion are common challenges faced by containers in maritime, construction and other tough outdoor environments. Even small dents from a forklift can chip away protective paintwork allowing rust to grow beneath. Areas that are prone to rust are the welds, seams, bottom parts of the doors, and container sides near the ground. Additionally, exposure to the sea and sun can result in paint flaking, and development of rust patches. Our team can remove minor damage with sandblasting, priming, and repainting. Deep rust and holes should be cut out and have a steel piece welded on the container. Ensuring small holes are patched will also keep the container wind and watertight.

Container Door and Locking System Repairs
Faulty or damaged doors and locking systems compromise the security and functionality of shipping containers. Our repair services cover everything from fixing hinges, locks and handles to replacing damaged door panels, ensuring that containers are secure and function flawlessly. The following can also be undertaken as part of door and locking system maintenance:
- Replacing container door seals
- Replacing container locking bars and door gears
- Fitting lockboxes on site for added security
Container Flooring Repairs
The condition of the container floor is critical for the safe storage and transportation of goods. There’s lots of scraping, pressure, weight, and more placed on the container floor. Over time the floor may suffer damage, and this could also come in the form of water damage if the container is not sealed properly ensuring it’s watertight. We offer comprehensive flooring repairs and replacement, addressing issues such as rot, water damage, or structural weakness.

Repainting Containers
Shipping and storage containers are painted with high quality, marine grade acrylic paint using a spray gun to give an even spread over the surface. Applying a fresh layer of shipping container paint will provide a barrier between the steel and the elements. This will not only prolong the life of the container but also improve its appearance.
We offer a basic full blow over in a single RAL colour in addition to more tailored options such as removing decals, graffiti, door gears, masking door seals, cleaning the unit to remove flaking paint or rust prior to painting. Container interiors can also be repainted.
