Skip and Container Refurbishment

Extend the life of skip containers with professional repair, refurbishment and repainting.

We've been refurbishing steel skips and waste containers since 1993. That experience means high standards, reliable service and good value on every job.

Why Refurbish Your Skips?

Refurbishing steel waste containers saves money, but it also cuts waste, keeps containers safe and protects your brand. Reusing steel instead of buying new keeps good material in service and avoids the carbon cost of making new containers.

We refurbish most types of steel waste container, from 8 yard skips to RELs, FELs, RoRos, compactors and recycling banks. Our process brings even battered, bent, burnt or corroded containers back to an almost as-new standard, for far less than buying new.

Refurbishment also keeps your containers safe and in line with industry guidance on container inspection and repair, and keeps your branding sharp.

When to Refurbish Your RoRos and Containers

Timing matters. Planning refurbishment at the right point extends the life of your containers, keeps long-term costs down and keeps them safe to use.

If you want to keep your fleet looking sharp, our Green repairs cover light maintenance: shot blasting, repainting and new branding stickers.

If safety and structure are the priority, our Amber repairs fix damaged areas and key safety points such as ratchets, slow-release mechanisms and labyrinth locks. Green and Amber repairs both fit well into a planned maintenance programme.

Once a container reaches the Red stage, refurbishment may no longer be worth the cost, and we’ll tell you if that’s the case. Acting early saves money.

Why Choose Fairport as Your Refurbishment Partner

We do everything in-house across our depots, so you deal with one supplier from start to finish.

Our customers include some of the UK’s best-known waste companies, such as Biffa, Suez, Veolia and FCC, as well as many local authorities. Read how we’ve helped them in our case studies.

Our mobile repair teams can also do the work on your site, which saves transport costs. If you need the same changes made across a large number of containers, they’ll give you a consistent finish for less.
