Damaged container Repair & Spray
Delivered a Shipping Container… and it arrived damaged?
This is where reputations get tested. If a container turns up dented, scraped, scuffed or rusty after delivery, the customer wants answers — and the supplier wants it resolved fast. Spray Masters provide a repair-prep + anti-corrosion respray service designed for container suppliers, depots, haulage firms, and conversion teams across the UK.
Built for: delivery damage • resale refurbishment • brand/fleet standardisation • depot maintenance cycles • customer complaint resolutions.
Quick Links
We run container refinishing like a coatings project, not a quick cosmetic touch-up. That means controlled preparation, correct primer selection for corrosion control, and durable topcoats for UV and handling resistance.
Included: a simple before/after photo pack you can forward to your customer or file internally.

How do you prevent container rust from coming back?
Rust control is prep + correct primer. We remove contamination, stabilise corrosion where required, then apply anti-corrosion primers (commonly epoxy-based)
and seal with a durable topcoat chosen for UV and handling resistance. Done properly, it’s protection — not a temporary disguise.
Protective Coating Systems We Use (Specified to the Job)
| System | Best For | What It Delivers |
|---|---|---|
| Epoxy Primer + Polyurethane Topcoat Premium durability |
Outdoor exposure • harsh yards • UV • repeat handling | Strong corrosion control + UV stability + abrasion resistance. Ideal for suppliers who want fewer callbacks. |
| High-Build Alkyd Enamel Value + turnaround |
Lower exposure sites • budget-led refurb cycles | Durable high-build finish when correctly prepped. Often used when speed and cost control matter. |
| Specialist Options Problem solvers |
Condensation • heat • glare • chemical splash risk | Anti-condensation, heat/reflective coatings, chemical resistance upgrades where required. |
If you’ve got a colour reference or you need repeatable fleet consistency, send it with the photos — we’ll build the spec around it.

Delivery Damage Respray FAQs
We delivered a container and it’s damaged — what’s the quickest next step?
Send photos, postcode, container size, and the deadline. We’ll triage the scope (spot repair vs full respray), recommend the coating route, and offer the earliest slot options.
Can you repair dents as well as repaint?
Minor cosmetic impact issues can often be prepped and blended for a professional outcome. For deeper structural dents, we’ll advise the most sensible route based on damage location and finish expectation.
What coating system is best to prevent rust coming back?
Anti-corrosion priming is the foundation. Epoxy primers are commonly used where strong adhesion and corrosion control is required, then sealed with a durable topcoat for UV and handling resistance.
Can you colour match for fleet consistency?
Yes. If you have a colour reference, send it with the photos. Consistent finish standards are a key reason trade partners use us.
Do you work UK wide?
Yes for commercial scopes and trade partners. Derby/Nottingham/East Midlands are core coverage areas, with UK-wide delivery for container suppliers and larger rollouts.
Do you provide documentation for customer complaint resolution?
Yes — we provide a simple before/after photo pack with a short scope summary. It keeps resolutions professional and reduces back-and-forth.
Why do quick container paint jobs fail?
Usually prep is rushed, contamination remains, primer choice is wrong, or coatings are applied without proper process control. Durability is built in the prep and the spec.
How do you price delivery damage resprays?
Condition and prep drive cost more than “size” alone. Photos let us assess scope, access, and whether it’s a spot repair blend or a full respray requirement.
