ClearRestore® – Shipping Container Colour Restoration

ClearRestore® is priced per site because every location and container set-up is different. Factors such as travel, site size and any multi-unit discounts are built into the final quote.

As a guide, repainting a shipping container typically costs around £514 per unit, whereas ClearRestore® can deliver up to a 62% saving. It also offers significantly less downtime, minimal disruption, and a much faster turnaround than traditional repainting.

ClearRestore® is a more cost-effective alternative to repainting shipping containers. On average, it saves operators over 50% compared to traditional repainting.

Unlike painting, which typically takes a full day per container, ClearRestore® can revive the colour of three or more containers in the same time. There’s also no need for masking, spraying, or emptying units, which means no downtime, overspray risk, or operational disruption.

For self storage sites and businesses relying on containers, ClearRestore® keeps costs down while improving site appearance faster.

The ClearRestore® finish is formulated for long-lasting colour protection. Every application comes with a 5-year guarantee, supported by UV inhibitors and antioxidants that slow fading, cracking and peeling.

In many cases, restored containers have retained their finish for 10 years or more. The treatment can also be reapplied to prolong container life and maintain a professional, consistent site appearance.

ClearRestore® is applied on-site with minimal disruption. Our trained team carries out the process using a simple, efficient method:

• Deep cleaning of the container surface
• Application of a biodegradable degreaser
• Full drying of all surfaces
• Manual application of the restoration coating using rollers and brushes

This approach means no masking, no spraying, and no need to empty units, making it a practical alternative to repainting or replacement.

No. ClearRestore® is an external-only restoration method, so units remain accessible throughout the process. Customers at self storage sites can continue using their units normally, and commercial operators experience zero downtime.

ClearRestore® is an eco-friendly container restoration solution. Unlike repainting, which often involves large volumes of paint, solvents, and masking waste, ClearRestore® uses minimal materials and a biodegradable degreaser. The process reduces chemical waste, energy use, and resource consumption, making it a greener choice for restoring shipping containers.

By extending the life of containers, it also helps avoid unnecessary replacements, supporting both sustainability and cost savings.

The solution can be sprayed, but rolling is currently the recommended method. Rolling is more cost-efficient, reduces overspray and minimises material waste, making it the preferred technique for most sites.

Yes. ClearRestore® is fully compatible with modular units, including Boxwell and USC models. It restores the appearance of the metal exterior panels, reviving colour and improving overall presentation.

No problem at all. The restoration still works and will revive the colour just as effectively.

ClearRestore® is a professional on-site service, not an off-the-shelf product. Our trained technicians handle the full process, but as with all coating-related work, weather and temperature conditions must be considered when scheduling.

If a container is severely weathered and lacks enough remaining pigment, full colour restoration may not be possible. In these cases, our team will assess the unit and recommend the most suitable solution.
