As tough and durable as shipping containers are, they can still experience damage as well as wear and tear. This can compromise their appearance and reduce the strength of the structure as well as the protection they provide for contents.
Whether you’re using your container for storage, as a workspace, or something else entirely, you’ll want to ensure it stays in tip-top condition for as long as possible, so that you get the most out of your investment. Here at Upminster Containers, we’re here to help make that happen, with our team of expert technicians ready to carry out all kinds of shipping container repairs and maintenance services, from resprays to complete refits.
We’re proud to say that we were the first business in the UK to provide shipping container repair services. For over 55 years, we’ve seen virtually every problem and issue that can affect containers and provided remedial services to fix many of those faults.

If you need professional support with repair or damage to a container and/or want to extend the lifespan of your unit and keep it in optimal condition for as long as possible, contact our team today for the best services in the UK.
Structural Repairs
Older containers are liable to develop faults such as holes in the surface, rust spots on the exterior and weakened panels. These will all affect the structural integrity of the container as well as the security of whatever you’re storing inside. Getting the Upminster Containers team to fix these faults will enable your container to once again provide the safe, secure and weather-resistant services you need it to.
Seal Replacements
A container’s seals stop rainwater from seeping into the interior. Over time, these seals can become damaged or worn out and will require replacement, a service our expert technicians are happy to provide.
Graffiti Removal And Respray
Unfortunately, large flat surfaces such as the exteriors of shipping containers can be a magnet for those intent on spraying graffiti in their local neighbourhood. What they leave behind is often an eyesore that you’ll be looking to remove as quickly as possible; restoring your container back to its original appearance. Here at Upminster Containers, we offer a quick response container respray service that’s carried out by professionals who know what it takes to restore your unit’s clean and fresh look, so it returns to the way it was before the graffiti.
Our respray service is equally effective if the colour or design on the exterior of your shipping container has faded over time and needs a refresh. We can make the colours pop and look vivid again, so the outside of your container gets back to looking its brilliant best.
Break-In Repairs
Shipping containers are made tough and can be secured by strong padlocks. However, criminals who are determined to get inside will likely damage locks, doors and other areas of the container to get what they want.
If you’re unlucky enough to be a victim of this type of crime, we’re the people to call to fix any damage your container may have sustained. Whether it’s a missing or broken lock, a smashed door or dents/holes in the bodywork, our expert team can quickly put things right, re-establishing the security of your unit.
Full-On Refurbishments
Our team of expert technicians can bring faded and jaded shipping containers back to life. So, if your container needs some love, or you want to make the most of our expert shipping container conversion services, reach out to us and we’ll be happy to help.
